Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

...I sent him an email before I posted here...look at the rest of his stuff...it's all decorative, 'left-out-in-the-weather-to-look-old' stuff...a lot of rusty, poor quality cast iron...the Coke door push has to be a fake; it's just too crudely done...

Thanks guys for speaking out about the fakes, I probably wouldn't buy one but I hope Ebay cracks down on this stuff, I've sent emails, and when they do their surveys via the phone WE give them an ear full about stuff from far east spammed all thru various categories. Take care! tt

I got taken by this guy myself on another sign. Oval porcelain gargoyle sign, He said also 40's original. Although i did return it and he credited my paypal account.After it was all said and done i had around $35.00 in shipping costs both ways to and from.He insisted it was original. Did I just admit to this?

I dont think the second sign is a fake...I have the same sign and have talked to two major sign collectors and they believe that its more of a fantasy sign. They couldn't pin an exact age or sign maker but said the signs worth between 150 to 200 dollars.
