Q: I have a lithographed tin sign like the one that was pictured in Kovels Komments a few years ago and valued at $1,500 to $2,000. Mine has exactly the same image, but the one you pictured was self-framed and large, 30 inches high and 20 inches wide, and mine has no frame and is 12 inches by 4 inches. What is my smaller version worth?

A: The original Grape-Nuts sign has been reproduced. Your sign is a reproduction. It’s smaller, not self-framed, is missing the slogan “There’s a reason” at the bottom, and has holes at the top and bottom. As a decorative piece, it’s worth about $20.
