I was out going to garage sales yesterday and had went to several sales and came up empty handed. Thought I'd stop at one more and nothing was there. I asked the lady if she had any signs and she replied what kind of signs. I told her any type of signs and she sent her husband in the house and he came out with this Horse Shoe Tobacco porcelain flange sign. I couldn't believe my eyes! That was my home run for the day. Another awesome sign for the collection. Enjoy viewing both sides of this sign.
Nice pick!
Great find and it proves that it never hurts to ask. I was at a older man's farm today and I asked, he just about kicked me off the property! All I did was ask, he had these old Cleo Cola, Velvet Tobacco and a few RC signs everywhere on his building.
Stupid thing was, I had a buddy, who lived close to him, check it out for me before I made the trip over there.
Nice find, sometimes it hurts to ask but if you dont you loose out, if I hadnt asked I wouldnt have got my M&S clockface pump and some of my other stuff.

Wow. We have this sign, in near-mint condition and it's sitting atop our kitchen cupboards. I collect antiques and my sweet husband brought this home one day as a leftover find at an abandoned property. I wonder how much these sell for in the condition ours is... HOLY MOLY. Thanks for the share!
Just Wondering it's only worth what someone is willing to pay, how bad do they want it. If it's in excellent shape as you say, I'd say you could get quite a bit for it. Hope I have helped and have a good evening.
Thank you shughs, mtg75, egreeley1976, vanskyock24 and sanhardin for the loves on this old porcelain sign!!
