I got this tin sign from my father who had this in his motorbike-shop. It is approx 40 cm high and in an ok shape. Does it have any value? For me it has, since i have nice memories from looking on it every time i got into my fathers store when i was a little boy :) I have no clue how old this is either. Anyone knows?

They don't look like motorbike tires.
they look like cheater slicks from the 60`s
i dont know id like to see both of them
Thats not motorbike tires for sure , but i dont think my father cared about that :) :) :)
it was still nice on the wall :)
Found this on web. Can i assume my sign is worth approx the same, or is mine newer? The one they sell on this link seems older style... http://www.trishhunterfinds.com.au/vintage-store/vintage-retro-artwork-online/vintage-tin-sign-for-continental-tyres/
Is there anyone who can tell me what they think about how old this is , and also maybe value? Would be fun to know :)
Looking at the way she is dressed I would say this is from the early to mid fifties. Tires were usually depicted much wider than the actual dimension, much like the model I'm sure.
There's a tire on that sign?? I didnt notice.
count the "luvs", count the "likes", which column do you think the guys voted in?
