Masonite Texaco Sign

Hand painted from the late 50s early 60s(?)

It's framed masonite..
I can't find another like it, masonite anyways.
I can find similar ones, but all on metal.

Why are some signs masonite?

What kind of collectors value would yall put on this?

 

I did a general search for masonite sign.... bunch of different types.

I have found masonite signs, just not this Texaco one.
Are they custom made "one of a kinds" commissioned for the station/store it was displayed at?

 

Nice sign. Masonite is generally going to be worth less than metal or porcelain. I doubt it would have been a one off type sign since its just the typical logo. You could try posting on oldgas.com.
