Does anybody know if this sign is real or reproduction?
250974568928
I know they reproduced these, but don't remember how to tell. Any thoughts?
Thanks...Kevin
I offer quart can re-lidding, can rolling, lid stamping, and dent removal.

Hi Kevin,
If I remember correctly the repros are flat, no embossing of the pricing and logo area. The back on this one is that greenish gray which looks correct as well.
It's actually a 30's sign, older than the seller lists. I have it in my watch just to see what it sells for as it's the nicest one I've ever seen offered.

Also, the repops of this sign that I have seen don't have the paragraph below the prices.

is the font a newer font? Too new for a 1930s sign?
