This sign hung in front of my gradfathers Bar/Pizza place in the 1950s. I aquired it a few years ago and now its displayed inside my cafe in a neighboring town. You wouldnt believe how much Ive been offered for it.

Nice, that looks like a nice early 1930's wrigley's porcelain sign. Wouldn't be suprised if you've been offered more the 450-500.
That wasnt even the low offer.
That's a beauty!!
I would guess a couple grand at least! Very rare porcelain sign.
That would go nice with the 1927 Wrigley's calender I have!
Love the sign!!
That's a beauty!
Awsome sign
wow!! very nice sign!
I have NEVER seen another like it. What ever the offer is I'm sure the sentimental value is worth more than the money. Keep it and enjoy the memories.
This is the third one for me. 3500.00-5500.00 and very likely more at auction. There are some hard core gum collectors out there.
Very nice sign!
Thanks for sharing.
