Title: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: jbrooks on December 27, 2012, 12:49:45 am I put this up for sale on oldgas but thought I would see if anyone on here can do something with this sign. I couldnt leave it on the guys building where it was rotting. $35 shipped

(sorry, signs always seem worse on the back side) Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: jbrooks on December 27, 2012, 08:57:22 am If I decide to hang it maybe I will take your advice and hang it backwards, lol
Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: MaineT on December 27, 2012, 12:18:22 pm Um, ya... this is going to lead me to a question that may get my head bit off but here it goes....
Does anyone "restore" these? It looks like a ton of work, but really just paint so more time then anything. Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: Kilroy on December 27, 2012, 12:36:17 pm I know of one person, does awesome work, but expensive and last i heard, had a 2 yr waiting list.
Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: jbrooks on December 27, 2012, 12:51:19 pm thats what i was hoping for, someone who could bring this sign back to life
Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: bcharlton on December 27, 2012, 01:19:38 pm I know that they are worth at least $5000 restored.
Actually Signguy would know, but I don't think signs should go through the restoration process. They are usually collected "as is" Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: MoonDawg on December 27, 2012, 01:41:53 pm May be just the ticket for that Mason's 81. :biggrin:
Actually I like the design, the block letters should not be too hard to reproduce and the bottle is cool. It would look much better if it were just stripped and primered. E bay is probably a better way to expose it to the die hard sign people or Mason collector. Title: Re: Mason's Root Beer Sign Post by: jbrooks on December 27, 2012, 03:46:51 pm Sold pending payment
