Default Are my signs worth anything?

When I moved into my house soime years ago I founfd a few old signs in the attic.

One is a cast iron "Beware of trains" sign , the other an original London street sign with the road name "Lordship Lane" on it.

Where can I if it's worth it get these valued.

I am guessing they would only be of any value to a collector??

If so go to a specialist auction house or something...

Anything even slightly collectable and frankly any old junk you aren't 100% why you've got it should go on Ebay.

I sold all manner of rubbish stacked in our spare bedroom on Ebay and made £300!

If you can find the drunken student who stole them, he may be willing to pay top dollar.

Technically you might be disposing of stolen property...

I got your e-mail.

Unfortunatly it is a little large for what I want. Am looking for a similar sign, but about 3rd of the size...

Ebay is the way to go...
