I am cleaning out my parents storage sheds, and am finding all kinds of things. This is a really cool Texaco sign that I uncovered. It's in kind of rough shape though. Unfortunately I know nothing about these old signs. If you could give me any information I'd appreciate it.

Hey,
You have a 42" Texaco Oil Gasoline Porcelain Sign. Is it double sided? Probably 40's 50's. Worth about $150. I'd buy it from you if you want to see it.
Sell it
Thanks for the info. The sign is one sided.
I see..would you like to sell it?
Yes. I don't know how to ship it though. How much were you thinking?
I'd give you $150 for it. Um..where you located?
Thanks for the offer, but for $150 I'd rather hold onto it. It's big but easy to store.
What do u want for it than
Oh I lied. The sign is two sided.
did you sell the sign?
No. Trying to convince my wife to let me keep it.
I am going to email you to get some more info.
Not sure what planet you all are from but this sign would easily sell for a minimum of $300 on eBay.
In this rough of condition, this sign would never sell for $300. $150 is probably even high. I;ve bought and sold these type of signs for years and it's pretty easy to properly value this item because there are so many out there to compare to. IF it could be cleaned up, $200-$300 might be realistic, but its rusted through and the damage is permanent. If you could get $150 for this sign, the seller is getting the better deal.
