there are many on here more knowledgeable than me but since you are running out of time and no help yet I would say anything under a thousand you did well on the Jacobs if it is complete and original, the sign is too hard to see but from the pics I am thinking repop.  Hopefully the real experts will chime.

Is that the auction in Savona?  If so please post how it went so I know if I should kick myself for not driving 4 hours or pat myself on the back

I think the Jacob 56 Pepsi Light Up will sell for $1500-2000.

Looks like its missing the light up plastic circle piece...which would be a hard part to find.

as much as you can afford that makes you comfortable!! The jacobs is pretty hard to and the pictures are small but it looks like it is in pretty good shape and would make a good project and financially well worth all of the effort.

Allegedly "all original" Jacobs in my area if anyone is interested for $2000.  I can help with pickup, etc.   I assume the mouse traps are not original.

If that is a jacobs 26, I just picked one of those up for 600 and 2000 is a little on the high side. The one at the auction seems to be a pepsi Jacobs 56 light-up model, but missing the pepsi lens and painted red.
