...here's yet another fake from 'treasureray'...check out the new-looking lettering...not hand-done like the real deal...and this sign has been chemically-aged to look old...

...Ray's fake sign is shown in the TOP photo - the bottom photo is of a real sign from the Aumann Auctions website...look closely at the differences...educate yourself...

...beware 'treasureray' on eBay...he posts as 't-ray' on Oldgas...

thanks for sharing....i would think if enough people reported this treasure ray to ebay, they would have no choice but to suspend him...there is a "report item" button on every auction page & its very easy to do....

Quote from another thread. Good stuff
These 5" plates are for a lubester, not a topper. Tankars is the real deal, and T-Rays is a fake. The way to tell real from repo is the star points. On a real plate the star points at 3 & 9 o'clock point directly to the round white circles on the border... The star points at 5 & 7 o'clock extend into the wording Made By The Texas Co. U.S.A. ...."
