Does anyone have any information on this sign? Was told it is a Kayo Tire sign. Measures 5 feet tall and 34 inches wide. It is a pressed/ die cut metal sign and is original. Looking for information to add to the sign in our museum. Also, would like to know if there is somewhere to check a value for insurance purposes. Thank you!

I know this sign. We own an OK Tire store in Salem Oregon and it's one of the signs they had when the franchise O.K. Rubber Welders was in business. That's a beautiful sign and I have had my eyes peeled for these things..we have a collage of old pictures in our shop that opened in 1942 and there are 2 of these in the windows..pretty sure they didn't think to save them..anyways..this is 5 months later but thought maybe you'd still like the info. -Angie Fox
I happen to to know where one of these signs are. Any one know how much is it worth ?
It's a spendy one for sure but I have no way of knowing an exact price..my family is open to contact if anyone finds anyone to sell anything like this to our shop:) I could submit pics of our shop...dont know what that would do..awesome sign!! Didnt realize it was 5 ft tall though..ours are only about a foot tall...
