Junkyard pick

I saw on the NBC Nightly News a story about a Los Angeles car junkyard (Adler Bros) that is closing it's doors soon. Went and it was pretty picked through and all the cars were seriously trashed and no cars worth salvaging. I'm sure the good stuff goes quick. Anyway a lot of cars were full of garbage and scrap parts.

For some reason I flipped over a piece of metal with some insulation bolted to it and industrial adhesive attaching it to another piece of metal. As you can see, it's an Associated Telephone Company Sign. Paid $6 and spent more than a few hours heating and scraping away the glue. Super annoying but then I read in a few places this is a rare sign b/c of the company.

Anyone have any info on the sign? I know it's 1920s double-sided porcelain. Not selling as I dig the sign and how I found it but anyone have an idea on value? Thanks!
