More evidence of what happens when 2 or more liquor'd up idiots are in the same room.


If someone wants to pay 5 digits for my 4' x 8' 60's dealer sign, it's theirs!

You would have to autograph it first :D

Crap. Just when I thought I had a relaxing weekend with no big decisions in front of me...

John, I'm sure you already have uber cool signage.

This was purchased in Ft Wayne back in the early 90's. I remember draggin it back with a load of antiques (long before merican pickers). Think I paid $200 for it and thinking the guy pulled a fast one on me.

Porcelain? it's an enamelled iron sign made from Smalterie Emiliane in late 60's and 70's. Beware of fakes, there are some reproductions around!!!

wouldn't that be awesome.

For future reference. Before raising hand at auctions check for a C.O.A.! I hope the buyer knew what he bought.

By the mid sixties, those enamel signs were usually always in Color. (1968 catalogue shows one)
Would fit for 356 time frame, if its a real one. Agree, easy to fake or doing repro
