Goodrich Silvertowns Balloon tire sign vintage?

[artslinger]

Hi friends, I went to a swap meet this morning, but didn't score a thing. On my way back home, with my tail between my legs, I spotted a garage sale sign, so I followed it. The only thing that I was able to spot was a cardboard coke sign that was in deteriorated condition. I asked the seller if she had anymore signs, and she tells me that there is one in the back that was removed from a service station that was about to be demolished. We go to the back and look at it, and we settle on a price and it's now mine. It is very heavy double sided, and appears to be porcelain. Not sure of it. The unfortunate thing is that a big chunk of the top is missing probably torn when it was being taken down. It is approx 4 feet long and four feet wide. It still has the nice colors on both sides and has bullets wounds.

Hopefully it has some value, even without that torn piece. Please let me know what you think, I appreciate it.

Yes, it still has value. Sucks about the missing piece, but it still has good colors and artwork.

Definitely looks porcelain coated to me, any enamel sign definitely has value. The cut part is a bummer, but the fact that the tire illustration and Goodrich brand name are still intact is great. I'd guess you could still get a few hundred out of it easily. Lots of bars and stores these days love that kind of thing as decor. Great find!
