Presented with the original wood frame and original wood backing, this Three-Legged Deer sign is of the single-sided design. According to Dave Anton, only 16 examples of this sign have been found and this one has good color with some wear, soiling, and scratches.

The only complete example known, according to Dave Anton, this sign is two single-sided porcelain-embossed die cut signs mounted back-to-back and hanging under its original milk glass lighted metal hood. Showing excellent color and gloss, the display has a couple of tiny chips and the point has minor damage. The reverse side has two touched-up chips in the field, the metal hood has rust spots in the original green paint. The Reichmann Brothers is a dealership in Southern Illinois celebrating their 100th anniversary this year.

Still in the original crate, this NOS Caterpillar-John Deere double sided porcelain neon sign has excellent color and gloss despite a few small chips in the field. The wood slats of the original wood shipping crate have not been removed on the reverse.

Discovered in an attic in Michigan, this Musgo sign is truly spectacular. Never-before-seen by the public, Musgo signs are one of the most sought-after of the gas-oil brands. The opportunity to find an absolutely exquisite example such as this one isn’t just rare, it’s unheard of. A double sided porcelain sign, only the most minute of blemishes and imperfections score this example.

This sign is very exciting, and very rare. Afterall, AvGas signs are hugely outnumbered by car and truck gas signs, especially going back a few decades – there were only a few airports in the country. Comprised of multiple single sided porcelain pieces, the center clamshell has good color and moderate gloss, the right edge has some porcelain loss. A small bend and some small chips are seen, but they don’t detract from the overall presentation. Both wings present very nicely.

Rated by The Authentication Company as an 8.5, this rare Double-Sided Porcelain (DSP) sign measures 30”x30” and shows good color and gloss with light wear overall. A couple of chips in the field at a couple of mounting holes, all-in-all, it’s hard to deny this sign.
