Never seen another of these, and was'nt likely to again, so I've officially joined the "more money than brains club", as Jay Leno likes to say.
I had to shell out $75 bucks for this big ole' sow. This is going to be a project, as the frame is shot also, so major resto work will be needed. I just could'nt let this one sign keep rotting away till it disappeard(which was'nt far off).

Right on Bernie sweet sign pretty rough but its a hard to find sign, have fun cleaning it :)
It's a biggin for sure!! Don't forget the "after" pics when ya get her all spiffy!!
Thanks Trev & Tommy, after pics to follow!!
Now that baby has potential! I had the same feeling when I bought a decrepit ol' Kay Displays sign last year, then turned around and sold it recently for an $80 profit. I say it's "rusty gold" and "well done" Bernie! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Thanks Dave, rusty gold is right!! I've got the perfect place to hang this though, so that was the clincher!
It's mammoth!
Rusty gold yes, a little patina never hurt anything. Wipe it down good with soap and water and hang it. Put another frame on it, use some old weathered wood. Great buy.
Thank-you EJW, Trey & Perry!!
