My grandpa found a button that I have some value questions about. He found a 36" button that is a painted button without the bottle that is in bad shape. Its badly faded and a but rusty but nothing through. It defiantly needs a repaint which i dont mind. They want $99. Should I get it? I am going to bed now so you have 8 hours to let me know. Once I wake up I will call grandpa and either say pass or go get it so please help. Now I am leaning towards go get it.

      Cheapest isn't always best. Though someone will buy and paint it, folks from this group
would prefer to wait until one with better porcelin comes along, and you know it will Josh.

For the cost to have it restored, you're better off waiting and finding one in better shape

I have a friend that does great sign work. I don't mind having a repainted sign. For only $99 for a 36" button is really good deal.  I thik I will get it. I will have him see if he cant bargin with them. Maybe I can get it for $50? you never know.
