Silver Fox Sign

[Sea Monkey]

Might have a chance to buy this sign but don’t know much about it. Anyone have any info? (Quart shown just for fun)

Um, it's red with black letters accented in silver. Pretty sharp looking sign.

This is the Silver Fox sign from Oklahoma City. This sign was unknown until the early 90's when at least 100 (maybe more) we're found inside a barn in Oklahoma, near Ardmore. The barn was insulated with the signs, back side out, and were tacked up on the interior walls and ceiling to hold the insulation in place. This protected the faces from moisture and fade. The signs all look like yours or better, with plenty of tiny tack nail holes.

The guys that found them sold them for a couple of years at the large Canton Trade Days east of Dallas and originally could be had for $50 - $75. This is were I picked one up around 1993. After they went through them, the prices increased to around $150. Today, if you find one, they are in the $300 range.

Damn Mike, that is some fine info. Thank you very much!

[Sea Monkey]

Thanks to all of you guys helping out. I was able to pick this sign up today! Was even able to make a trade for it...

Here is a eBay sale from a few days ago. I was spot on in the price estimate. This one of the better condition ones that I've seen.
