1950 36" Porecelain Wolfs Head sign. I can't seem to find any like it, the only Wolfs Head items I've seen here were either rectangular or oil cans. Any ideas on value? Condition is the same both sides....thanks

Looks good, How much?
Appreciate the interest, but I really would like to know more about it and its value...Looks like it possibly had a frame of some kind around it but can't be sure. I've done several searches on different sites and ebay but haven't come across anything remotely similar. Not saying it's one of a kind, but there isn't much out there about it.
Hi, nice sign, I did find alot like yours but they they say 100% Penn. oil at the bottom, I found 2 just like yours, 1 sold for $550 in 2004 and the other sold for $120 in 2005?? both looked nice so who knows what yours is worth today. being porcelain and 36" Id guess $300 to $400 at auction.
Wow, 2004? How did you find that Haha! I was thinking about the same as far as value. Two things that def. add to value are condition and availability, I'm hoping I found a more rare example. Thanks for the info!
I have a Wolfs Head sign just like your's. I love it & I have also been trying to find some for sale with the same design as we have.
Thanks Brandon. I've been collecting for a few years now and I still have yet to see another in the same round cut and size. I would think there would be a lot more out there considering Wolf's Head's popularity
