The appraised object is a vintage neon Oldsmobile sign, c. 1930s. Measuring approximately 30W x 6H x 6W inches, this sign is similar in style to the car company’s classic script logo in use from c. 1900-1920, albeit without the familiar underscore flourish attached to the end of the last letter. The sign’s bold and minimal aesthetic evokes modern design, synonymous with classic Americana. The estimate is based on similar items recently offered or sold at auction. In many cases, comparables available on the retail market vary and are often higher than secondary market examples.
