    Picked up this yesterday. I'm not into cars but I couldn't resist because of the size. I tore it apart and gave it a good cleaning. It was pretty dingy and grimy from hanging in a warehouse for about 40 years.

    No idea on the age but the sign itself is painted porcelain.

    Quoted from littlecammi:

    That sign is actually worth more in Oklahoma than in Minnesota

    Any idea what the value is? I do have a good friend into cars and thought he might like this. No idea what it's worth though.

    These are going to need a little cleaning.

    Here's a classic Grain Belt that had been hanging in the same location for the last 30 years, at least. Lots of corrosion on the metal. Here's a before and after.

    It looks WAY better and brighter than shown.

    Quoted from Betelgeuse:

    Any suggestions on the most practical way to touch up the flaking black coating on the tubes?

    I've used a simply paint pen.
