Crossbucks

[hoborich]

I know where there is a set of steel crossbucks on a 4 by 4 wooden pole, with attached STOP sign below the cross bucks, at a nearby antique shop. What would they be worth? The crossbucks are steel, in good condition, with no rust. The wooden post is also in good condition.

What they are worth is to the eye of he beholder, and how much the person wants to ask really. We have purchased an older white text on black sign cross buck from a train show for $40 before, but some people may ask a lot more. If it is one with marbles they may be asking more, if it is rusty they may ask more because it shows "age", it all depends. Since you are looking in a retail setting I would guess this set of cross bucks is listed in the $200-$250 range since it is in a store.. Maybe slightly more since its on a post with a stop sign, but stop signs are a dime a dozen in most cases.

The proper evaluation of the unit is what someone will pay really, and I would not be surprised if it sold for $200+ to a collector or someone furnishing a home/ business. (This is my experience with rr collectables so someone else may have a different opinion or thoughts)

I think it had the marbles, or tiny reflectors. I'll have another look when I'm over that way. Not sure where I would put it. Maybe I can get a pic of it. Thanks.

Probably more than.. If the stop sign is marbled too it could be more. My guess is a "good price" would be $200 for the set but it's probably listed for more

Actually it was $155, if I recall and I haven't been back yet. The crossbucks were marble eyes. The stop sign was just the usual red and white letters, no marbles.
