I am not a professional dealer so bear with me.

The sign is a 30" porcelain. When I got it, it was wrapped in newspaper
from 1932. I kept as much of the paper as i could. From the little
research I have done, Oil Company Signs by Scott Benjamin lists this
sign as "extremely rare - less than 10 known, and a few signs are known
only in old photographs."

I do have one in mint condition -- Unused, absolutely no wear, like new.
I also have the original driveway stand and hanging hardware. I thought
I would give an executive at Ethyl Corp a shot at buying this first. I
don't have a value to put on this but will look at offers.

I also have a few in near mint - Appears new, but on close examination
you can see a few imperfections. I would like to get $425.00 + freight
for just the sign. I do have a second hanger which I havn't put a value
on, but will if you are also interested in the stand.

And, I have one in Excellent condition -- very, very small paint chips.
I would like $375.00 + freight for this.

Again, for all I know, these signs could be worth up to $3,000 each. I
Acquired them and just want to move them. I am not a sign collector or
trader.

Thanks!!!
