id be willing to pay upwards of 100 dollars for your collection- You would also be willing to rip him off
True, no discussions on buying and selling.
Oilman514 is right and I agree they are probably extremely valuable atakaki. You have a truly amazing find here. You may want to take very good care of them. Potentially have these items looked at by an auction house or someone that specializes in this sort of thing to find out specifics related to history and their true value. Even in this condition I have a feeling not many, if any, of these types of items have withstood the test of time making them rare/scarce. It would be great to see some of the others you have found posted here when you have a chance. If not no biggie. Keep up the amazing picking and have a blessed day atakaki : )
This one and the others you have posted are trolley posters. They would be hung in the trolleys.
Thanks Steve, that information has helped me alot. I'm trying to gain as much knowledge on what I have as possible. And thank you for the advice electobacco, I will definitely be posting the rest. This feedback is great.
I would suggest eBay as a venue to sell these. I would suggest this because it will probably be hard to find a trolley poster specialist. I have had some before and sold them on eBay for between $2-$20 in the condition of this one (high end being a Wrigley Chewing Gum).
Condition..condition..condition. That TC sign in mint condition would fetch around 250.00-300.00. In that condition...20.00- 30.00.
