Miller High Life Nostalgia... (signs, lights, clocks)

Hey, guys. I don't know if I can post this here, but a few months ago my old man lost his battle with lung cancer and I want to unload some of his beloved "stuff." I need some help in finding what the following might be worth (besides Ebay), or if you know where I can go to find some information on them. From what I can tell they can bring upwards to $200+, but again, I want to find out for sure. I know, I know, they're only worth whatever someone is willing to pay, but hey, I could always use more cash! 😊

This first one is just a lighted sign:

The 2nd one fits in a corner and is a clock with a pull string for the lights (clock seemingly works):

3rd is the same but horizontal (light / clock combo) and is about 24" long (clock seemingly works):

The final one is just a light where a red ball bounces across the tops of the letters and changes them from white to red:

Thanks for viewing. My dad was pretty proud of the stuff he acquired from his days of driving for Miller beer. 😌 Miss ya, dad.
 
Sorry to hear about your dad, Craw. I know it's not easy even when the outcome's known in advance.:(

That being said/written, these look like items that belong in Jim Lampe's house! But if there was one piece that your dad was particularly fond of, it should stay with you.

If your dad ever delivered kegs to the Drake campus in the early '80s there's a good chance he helped contribute to my underwhelming grades and general overall delinquency. ;)
 
My dad was partners with a friend of his in a company that made a lot of the parts (sheet metal) for those things. He used to get a lot of them. He asked me to unload the stuff for him so I was able to do so on FleaBay. There are collectors out there who will pay well for it.
Sorry to hear about your dad. Thankfully mine is still kickin and with us at just shy of 94
 
Sorry to hear about your dad. I miss my dad dearly too. Those signs are very cool. I suggest checking prices on eBay of similar products that sold in the past. Good luck!
 
Sorry to hear about your father, I miss my father every day.
The signage is very cool, I’m no expert but, I’d try digging around on flea bay and see what you can find in “past sale” listings. This kind of ephemera can vary widely but, you never know what the market will bear.
