the best person to ask this question too is an antique dealer, but go to one that has a very good reputation, and by no means sell it to the first person that offers, unless the price is right, and they pay cash on the spot.
If it is an authentic sign, that thing could be worth millions, that's why you need to have it authenticated, and if it is authentic, have that baby insured as soon as possible. Remember you could have a one of a kind item there, so if it were me, I would be keeping it.

chances are its a reproduction made to look very old. Take it to a reputable collector, or a very reputable dealer, not just some antique shop. Get it appraised, find out if its actually worth anything, and then get it insured if it is.

But what's your question? If it's the value I'd contact quite a few antique dealers.
