This was found in the riverbanks while metaldetecting: We put it in a tub underwater with lukewarm water and (vegan) green soap to soak it over night but what are the best next steps to dry and clean/preserve this?

So I recently saw these items on a random website (offer up) but wanted to know more about them. I’ve been seeing similar items online going for crazy $ but I was wondering more about historical context and are they actually legal to sell? If they are legit street signs?

Question Came across this sign in an antique store in Porto and fell inlove. Owner wouldn’t sell it. Any idea on its history or where else I might be able to find one? I’ve searched everywhere

Found this metal sign or advertisement in our old smokehouse, had been repurposed to insulate around a stove pipe. Google didn’t find this exact piece, just wondering if anyone knows the age or what it was.

Buying Leads or suggestions on sourcing an original Waverly Superior Beverage Co. sign?

Post image

Hi all, my dad’s 60th birthday is coming up and I would like to get him a special gift. His grandfather founded the Waverly Superior Beverage Co. based out of Gary, IN, so I would like to try to find an original embossed advertisement as a gift. Because the brand was small and regional, I’m finding very few sales of original signs online. Ideally, I’d like to find a sign like the one in the attached picture. Any suggestions about where I should search/any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've searched the internet high and low for information on this sign. I just bought it off an older collector who bought it at auction about 30 years ago. He was under the impression it was a dealership sign from the 1950s, but I haven't been able to find anything to confirm. Its about 40" long, 24" tall, and 4" wide at its maximum width.

Also, any idea on a value for something like this? While looking online, seems prices are all over the place. Just curious if I overpaid or not.
