#12: Levi’s Painted Brick Wall Ad (1950s) – $4,400
This isn’t a sign in the classic sense — it’s a still-standing painted mural from Levi’s heyday. Captured on the side of a building in Jacksonville, Oregon, it exudes historic Americana charm. The fading serif letters stretch across red brick like denim stitched into the town itself.

While you can’t hang it on your garage wall, photos and fragments from these murals fetch considerable attention when preserved or reproduced. It’s ghost advertising at its best — silent, massive, and hauntingly beautiful. Pieces of it have sold, though the whole wall holds an almost mythical value to collectors.
