I found these signs in the basement at work while installing a water descaler. They seem to from the 30s to modern times, but I can't find a whole lot on all of them The building was owned by a mechanic until about 15 years ago. I don't know much about cars or signs, so maybe somebody here will know their value. (I apologize in advance if the pictures are rotated)

I'm not a sign collector but lots of guys are . I know you can sell them for pretty good money . someone here is bound to know the value.

I don't know their value, but on a facebook site, things like that sometimes bring a very good price.

Well, my dad owns the building. He says he's going to sell them if they are worth anything. I don't think he means to me.
I'd say they'd have some value. I see more of those kind of items for sale in the Midwest like Iowa and Nebraska were they have many antique malls. I hardly ever see old signs of any kind out here in the Rocky mountain west. I like the AC signs and I can recall seeing a lot of those wheel balance signs with the seal on it, back when I first started driving in the 1970s

Those would be so cool in my little antique store, people are always asking for them. I love them!!! Like tamrock said, you sure don’t see them out here.
