The big bite out of this one reminds me of Jaws when they were pulling all the stuff out of the dead tiger shark's belly:

I would agree.  $95 is certainly an optimistic price for a rusty sign found in a dump!

One of the rarest signs there are. Have seen a couple Hubcap Mutuals but this
is the only one I've seen of this variety in  45 years of collecting tel signs. To bad about the condition.
