    Got these years ago out of a barn I demoed with my dad. Did some research a few years ago thinking of selling them but never finished nor found much. Being new on the forum, I figured I'd share them on here to see what I can learn.

    Hi, Demo & welcome!

    The folks here will want to know the dimensions of your Firestone sign.

    I personally am not in-the-know about stuff like this, but I do know that automotive stuff DOES sell! Others will be along with more info, but possibly not until tomorrow...

    Easy to measure since they have sat here next to my computer for the past 20 years. :D

    The firestone is about 72" x 21"
    and the other two are 42" x 14"

    Cool, Demo - you've added more pictures! Again, I am NOT the right person to talk with you about them. Hang in there - someone else will surely be able to help!, but, again, it may not be until tomorrow.

    Thanks, I also just found the Veedol one on ebay asking 1400. First time I have seen either. Wasn't as much info back when I first looked.

    These are some seriously nice signs.
    I'd think you could get at least $800 each for any of them on ebay. There's great demand for old automotive signs.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    From watching the "Antique Pickers", I'd say hold out for some pretty good prices, as mentioned above!!!!! I know many here aren't crazy about them, but you get a feel for what THEY will get for the items they purchase!!

    Nice!!!!!!!!!! I love old signs and while the automotive themes aren't my first choice I would love to have them for the garage!!! They are premium signs and IMHO will only go up in value.

    Nice, you should contact or email American Pickers and see if they are interested.
    You never know if they would buy them from you.
