Posted By: Stephenwarren30 Small SSP Signs Real or Fake - Wed Dec 08 2021 04:47 PM
I have had these 3 small signs for years. I bought each one separately and always thought they were authentic. Because of the size of each one I wondered what the use of each one might have been in it’s day. I wanted to check with some other opinions. Two questions:
1) Are they each indeed authentic?
2) If so, does anyone know what each one might have been used?
The Prest-o-Lite is 9” by 3”…the AAA is 6” by 4”…the Standard is 8” by 4”.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and Merry Christmas to everyone!
Steve

Standard is 9 1/2" X 4 5/8", this sign was produced in different sizes

AAA- IMO - questionable

If the Prestolite is flat it’s a repop as it must have a curve to it like Randy said. Imo the Standard is also a repop by the location of the mounting holes should be inside the white border.

I have the same issue…it helps to check the “keep me logged” box, but that doesn’t always work either!
