My guess:  $225-275 range.
What do others think.

I was assuming it is porcelain.

Typically these sled signs where porcelain..
There was  a day that that was a $550 sign... if as good in person as what it appears in the photo..

It is in fantastic condition.. We paid in the high 200's for it.. so its a safe bet to say anywhere from 300-500.. I'm not planning in selling it.. Just curious.. and yes.. porcelain.

Thanks for all the help in input

Very nice sign!

I'm hoping to acquire approx. 30' of mounting track with brackets to mount "Sled" signs...
Currently the building has a couple of painted, not porcelain, "sled" signs and additional signage. I cannot tell what is what as the signs have been painted all white many years ago...
Last time I talked with someone via a phone number on the building for sale, she was pretty rude to me; so, I'm not keeping my hopes up...

Nice sign.  I have a similar one but it has the "Drink Coca-Cola A Sign of Good Taste" Fishtail on it.  Mine is not nearly as nice as yours and also appears to be painted rather than porcelain.  It is a little bent up along the edges but it displays nice.  I believe I got lucky on mine and paid $25.  Here it is:

I think you did ok in the high 200s, but think it would be tough to get more than 400.
