$3500 doesn't surprise me. I've seen many much more common porcelain Ford oval signs go for near that much and this is a pretty rare sign. We had a Waterloo Thrasher tractor sign that was beat up pretty bad and it went nearly half of that. I would think the following for Detomaso would be stronger than Waterloo tractors. Signs and old gas pumps seem to be bringing decent money right now.
This type of sign would be for someone like Gary Hall who would hang it in his showroom.
Where it is hanging now, over the workbench, only works because the guy who owns it is in a condo and has a high ceiling in his garage...AND he got it for nothing!
He's a "Buick Riviera" guy that used to work for that dealership and found it in the place's basement when it closed. He's a bachelor.
"You" could hang it over the bar in your playroom and replace the wine glass rack I suppose?
That needs to be cleared with "wifey" first I suppose and might not get beyond the initial suggestion stage?
Being a bachelor is great. You can keep your 'Harley' in the living room and polish it while you watch the Playboy channel...oops I mean Sports Channel?
Oh wait. Aren't they the same thing?
