He says in title it's 11 1/4, but in the description says its almost 12". I think he may be trying to be misleading, most of these small fantasy items are 11 3/4, which would be almost 12"

What's unfortunate is the fact that it will sell; someone will do a $225.00 buy it now on a $20.00 repro sign.

Too many people who have no knowledge of signs, are picking them up thinking that they can "easily turn a buck"... More often than not, they are taken either purposely or by another who also has no knowledge....

Before the "American Pickers" and such shows, one would find the occassional repop/fantasy sign by Sellers with 100% feedback... Now as more and more want "the easy money", the number of neophytes who are being taken is rising.....
