Conestoga 6" Tel&Te Co Mint Hubcap

Picked this beauty up at the TCI Lancaster meeting 6/8. I've been hunting for one for a long time. Unusual 6" size and unusual blue with thin  white speckled surface reverse. A few manufacturing bubbles are visible  in the white enamel. From the estate of a recently deceased longtime ATCA  member.
I was told there were two other small phone companies in this general region of Pa that eventually were swallowed up by PA Bell  .
Any thought?

That's a great little sign! I like it!

I have seen a few examples of this sign, which is surprising for a small company. Unless it's the same one that keeps being offered for sale.

Greg,
Jerry Williams had two one of which he has been marketing for more than a year at about double the price this was acquired for from an estate of a recently deceased member . I consider myself to be lucky.

Jerry Williams knows a lot about signs. He likes it enough to price it accordingly. That is the way to do it on your specialties.

You should base your buy  price on what you are willing to pay for an item based on condition, scarcity and desire.. Not based on the sellers buy price.

You have to sell to have the money to buy (or else the wife gets upset).
