Link doesn't work.

If it is an enamel, price depends on what condition it's in, how many dings and dents it got.
Worth more if it is a pictorial one rather than plain lettering.

Value has gone down massively since pub owners have stopped buying them. The Celtic Tiger era trend was to rip out all your original pub fittings and redecorate with old crap hanging off the walls and ceilings, the aim being to recreate what an Irish pub was 'supposed' to look like.

(btw enamel signage was intended for OUTDOOR advertising)

did you ever manage to sell this sign in the end

I collect oil lamps, stoves and paraffin powered stuff,

Would love to see a picture of the sign, never heard of daylight brand before, I assume its an american brand.

There are a few versions of these, a one that looks early 1900s with a pic of a horse drawn oil bowser, plain lettered ones with no images and ones with a rising sun/sunburst, possibly 1920s or 30's as the sunburst was a popular motif then.
