The estate sale that we purchased these signs from stated that these signs have been hung up in his collection for between 5 and 50 years making all of the
items
listed vintage. Please do your own research as vintage does not
necessarily mean original. All items sold as is & as pictured please do your own research and see our 12 beautiful color photos in each listing.
Note: I was left with a large advertising collection along with some that I have collected over the years & I also attend high end estate sales in the area. I have decided to sell some of our rare and hard to find signs. These items are being sold as is and as seen in the pictures. This week I am selling part of the collection of gasoline and motor oil related signs. Please be sure to check out my auctions and add me to your watchlist for more signs in the future.
Please ask if you have questions before you bid! I have taken a lot of time to take pictures and describe these signs the best I can. The starting price is low and without a reserve, this will allow you to get a good deal and tell the community what the current value of these signs are. If you are bidding on my signs please read my full descriptions and view the pictures. Please do all your research and ask questions before you place a bid. These are being sold as is and with no returns. Please keep this in consideration and I do not do partial refunds. I have spent a lot of time listing and answering peoples questions, I do not have time to deal with people who decide afterwards they don't want the sign and want to send it back. I really do think people can respect this, and I believe most collectors are really great people. But I must be clear about it to avoid people trying to play games.
