Guest Jjpetty2002 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The company I work for just moved into a old building. It was a auto parts store for 30 or 40 years. Up in a storage loft we found a old exterior Delco parts sign. Its 4 ft by 8 ft . We were just wondering if its worth anything. I've seen some vintage signs go for a lot. from what I have found out the sign is from the late 60's or early 70's so it's that old but it's before Delco became AC Delco.

uh6077 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) The signs you see going for a lot are the old porcelain coated metal signs. Plastic signs are not worth as much but still have some value. Pros of your sign1. Size, bigger is always better2. Says GM on it and Delco (not a "collectable" name but still a known company). 3. LightedCons1. Size again because it will be hard to ship2. Plastic which many people do not want in their collection3. Has the local company name Automotive Supply Stores Inc which is a pretty generic name and probably retracts from the value. I think you could get $300-450 for it on Craigslist if you clean it up and take some good pics with it lit up.

Guest Heartwine56 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think you will find that these types of signs are now becoming more popular, as vintage porcelain signs have increased in price so much, a lot of collectors are "priced" out of the market. Personally I like these signs because they were fragile and more easily damaged, meaning a lot of very pristine examples are hard to come by. I agree with the other commenters assessment, probably $300.00ish...that's what I would ask for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
