Well Erin, looks like your mom "done real good".
The Esso Sign and pumps, if in mint or near mint (must have the red round "tops"
to the two end poles on the pump piece, and no breakage or missing signage on the
tall sign.... they could command anywhere from $50-80 for one of each. The ESSO
truck would be about another $15-40 (depending on condition). The ESSO 1x8
whitem beam would be another $5. And the red garage door kit would be another
$10-20. Your best bet probably would be (if the pieces are in great condition)
to sell it on EBAY as a set 310 with no box or instructions. The Shell set (not
a Gas Station) would sell for considerably less. Besides coming in a 310 set,
the ESSO Station also came as part of the Town Plan set (725 in USA/Canada in
1961-65, 810 in Europe in the 1960's, 700K in Europe in the 1950's). Perhaps you
have the Town Plan and don't realize it!
