I am thinking of buying my father an authentic, vintage HD sign (maybe more than one) for Christmas
Anyone know of a good starting point for looking for said item?

I started on ebay but it pulls up a ton of repro stuff, I want original, not reproduction


thanks for any assistance you can offer

I had a saved search for original Harley posters..they sell for outrageous prices. Some like mine sold for over $200.00.....years ago. Can only imagine what vintage or original signs would sell for.The local (now extinct) "Mom & Pop" harley shop had a tube script lighted harley bar & shield with a clock in the middle of it. Probably from the 40's or 50's(?)............probably worth thousands.

I recently picked up an old gas pump from a guy down the street from my mom's that restores signs, he told me if I ever see a HD sign for $500 or under to buy it regardless of condition, he said some of them are worth as much as $10,000, and he has never restored one because they are so pricey!!

Go to the Ashboro HD museum.
Ed Rich used to own it, guess he still does.
He's been selling old HD stuff for a long time.
