Dealer signs are one of the most sought after items today by Oliver collectors. Unfortunately, not many of these dealership signs survived from the old Oliver and White dealers over the past 90 some years. When original signs do sell, they command a large price and it is extremely difficult to find one for a specific dealer or location. After extensively researching dealership signs, Oliver Archives is proud to offer replica signs made using the dealership sign designs used by Oliver and White from the 1940's - 1980's. These signs are NOT meant to be passed off as fakes of originals, although our designs are made to be an extremely close match to the originals! Instead, our signs are manufactured on modern aluminum composite sign material which is extremely durable, won't rust, and doesn't warp like thin sheet metal. Designs are printed directly on the signs and then covered with a protective laminate layer. Signs are machine cut to size with perfectly clean edges and include 1/4" holes in the top corners on small signs and all four corners on larger signs for easy installation. So here is your opportunity to have a sign featuring your favorite dealer's name that you haven't been able to find! Or maybe you don't want to spend $2,500 or more on an original Oliver "Cost Reducing" Farm Equipment sign, you can now have the sign for a fraction of the price! Maybe you want to have your farm name or your name on a sign to display at tractor shows. Since we offer customized text for a Name and Location on most signs, you can choose exactly what you want it to say. Some of our signs are offered in the exact size of the originals, such as the Cost Reducing Farm Equipment sign show below measuring 24" wide x 15'' tall. Some other signs we offer are half the size of the originals. For example, the sign shown at the top of this article was originally offered to dealers in 1960's measuring 8' wide x 4' tall. These massive signs are great, but many don't have the wall space or room to display a sign that large. By offering the same sign design in a half scale size (measuring 4' wide x 2' tall), your sign will fit almost anywhere, be much easier to ship and transport, and come at a much more affordable price. If you need help determining the name of a dealer in a certain location for your sign order, Oliver Archives has a database with nearly 200 dealer names and locations in the state of Iowa including Hart-Parr, Oliver, and White dealers. We will try to support finding dealership names for locations outside of Iowa if needed! Visit the Oliver Archives Store to shop and place your order today. |
