The reason I think the shield might be repro is the ir date at bottom point and on the back looks like there are oven rack marks.
Thanks for the help,

Jim

1st two signs:
Gargoyle sign has LAYING DOWN O's in word MOBILOIL.

SOCONY AIRCRAFT sign has NO details for Radial engine [cotton ball engine].

What do ya think about the mobilgas pump shield?

IMO the first two are REPO'S (for the same reasons as DB) and the pump plate is an original. Most "IR" dates from 1954 & forward are located in the center like this one. I have 3-4 marked like this. I don't think the "rack" marks on the back preclude it from being an original.

Thanks db & Richard,
I think I am going to make a run at the pump plate.
