I went out on a limb to snag this rough looking Masonite sign from an eBay BIN listing for $65 delivered.
It's always fun to receive a grimy sign and watch the colors come back to life while wiping it down with a lightly dampened rag. *Check a small section of the corner to make sure no paint will come off. And know when to say when.* I think this one might clean up even more, but better not to push it. Looks good to me!
I don't know that I'd necessarily call this one a Diamond in the Rough... maybe more like a polished Petoskey Stone (you non-Michiganders, look it up).

That's a steal. Great sign. It's inspirational for a collector with shallow pockets to know that with a good search things can still be had reasonably. Thanks, and great find. Nice clean up.
WOW!!!!! That is one of my favorites, I have been off the ebay for a bit but had I seen this I would have given you a run buddy lol!
Thanks robeo, tommy, and fifties.
robeo, the good deals are still out there on eBay. I prowl the BIN listings mostly. The auctions are mostly just too darn competitive. Patience and persistence will eventually pay off. Good luck!
Boy it really cleaned up nicely, Dave! Always a bit of a gamble with masonite but you came out on the winning end with this one. NICE
Thanks Music Man!
Great find and great job DN! I also love the aprons pinned to the wall. I just picked up a new Coke apron at a local home decor chain for when I bbq.
Thank you CokeKid.
love that sign Dave, nice snag!
