| I'm looking to purchase an A-C Dealer light up sign. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an old A-C dealer location that might still have one in the back corner or even on the outside of the building? Contact me at danrlilla@gmail.com as I don't make it on here too often. Thank you for reading this. |

Good luck ! Most lighted signs have been scooped up in the last 30 years. I'm lucky and have two. One was still in the shipping crate holding up a collapsed roof when I found it. None for sale! ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

You may have better luck asking here if anyone has one they would part with but finding an old dealer with one is like looking for hens teeth. ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

| For the price these signs bring couldn't you find a sign company make them for you? Yes they wouldn't be original dealer signs but Allis didnt make them anyways,right? I don't have a clue as to what a company would charge to make new ones but it seems like that would definitely be an option to look in to. |

| Exactly Grinder220, theres a company name on mine that built it, I'm sure they could be reproduced,, some of those pics of the smaller signs posted are on Ebay and very cheaply built |

| Thanks for all the information. Have had a local sign company quote 1 sided and 2 sided signs ($3,400 to $5,075 for 2' x 8' sizes). |

If ya have one made it would be cool to have the farm name or shop name like the dealer's were back in the day ------------- You can wash the dirt off the body but you can’t wash the farmer out of the heart and soul |

| Shameless that was a 2X8 I believe on that Wise bros sale in Missouri a month ago?? Sometimes signs bring big bucks and some times they bring around a 1,000 to 1,500. |

| Do you guys know if the original dealer signs had the metal casing with rounded corners or square or both? I see most with rounded. |
Posted By: dpower

| I have seen both. I know the 3 2X8 allis signs I have all have the rounded metal on them. OLDOUG had an original sign that had the squared metal but it was a larger sign. |
