To moretimremington -- I now have the pole prepped and primed. It is ready for paint and a ready for a light at the top. I am new at this site and not sure I can disclose selling price. Call 419-334-4871.
I'm glad you realized the value of this and took the time to take it down and restore it. It is disheartening how much stuff like this is lost to the scrap metal yards because people don't realize that it has both fiscal and historical value.
