Re: Vintage Hires Rootbeer sign
Hi,
In mint condition, I've seen them sold for upwards of $700. In your condition, I would guestimate anywhere from $200-$450 range.
Nice piece, by the way.

Re: Vintage Hires Rootbeer sign
I believe the above estimate was quite a bit over a realistic value. The sign has several dents, dings, some white paint apparantly, and looks be bent in some areas. A very very nice example of a larger size of this sign in near perfect condition sold recently for $145 with free shipping ($20-$40 value). I don't think this sign is worth more than $40-$70 on a good day. My two cents as someone who enjoys signs and has seen them sell.
