pic says it all.spelled wrong?guy says its old but a mistake.got kinda excited until i realised it wasnt spelled right!!DOH!!
What an idiot.......if every that make the fakes could do the same.....lol
Hey Mick,
The guy selling them is out of Belividere, IL and he has several signs for sale that he is selling as originals that are repops. The call themselves the "Belvidere Pickers". wouldn't touch one of their signs with a ten foot pole.
Just ruining the hobby for folks that like Petroliana, but can't spell. The sign you have there probably came from Argentina or India.

yeah i just talked to him and according to him"he went into an old factory,an found a bunch of signs.
"they must be real.but so what if their not,still a good sign"
Here is the best part, it SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW SWEET SIGN DUDE! I WONDER IF HE HAS A 42" TECKSACO!!
Ya, must be one out of Bongo's hoard!
HAHAHAHA Gotta love dumb crooks. Unfortunate they managed to dupe someone by the sounds of it though.
He has a bunch of them listed on craigslist........I wonder how long it will take for the suck that bought it , to find out that it's spelled wrong.....lmao......
Nothing like an illiterate trying to perpetrate a fraud when spelling is the key. How about "Uniun Oil" or "Signul Oil" or "Gilmoore Oil"? Operators are standing by to take your orders. Have your credit cards ready.
Probably when he kicks back and cracks open a cold one to enjoy his new pride and joy! hahaha
He needs to copy his sign! Next time it will be right.
You should see his original 30 inch Capatiller signs.
Hope he gives appropriate feedback on a Front_urd sign
Maybe the spill check wasn't working on his computer.........
I heard he's coming out with Golf, Standurd, and Citys Servous signs next. I can't wait !
I think I'll contact the company management and see if this is a copyright infringement. frontiermitch aka Mitch
If anyone on here sees their ads please
FLAG THE JUNK!
I before E except after T.
No I didnt do his spell chechen.
OK--All the spelling jokes are great but we've got to take this somewhat seriously! This is a serious threat to all of us and we should do all we can to learn more about this situation and spread the word, as much as possible, on it. These things are going to be around harrassing us for years to come and if we can minimize the impact now, thru education and warnings, then maybe the impact won't be quite as severe.
I for one, would like more information on location, production, and any tell-tale information that there might be in the actual signs. He's going to get the spelling right some of the time and people will be jumping to own a nice clean porcelain sign that is supposed to be original! Those with more information need to get it out to the right places immediately! Thanks---KEVIN
Well the joker is back......he has some listed in the Rockford,il c-list and now h has about 8 more listed in the chicago c-list......just type sign in search box and you'll find them.........
If everyone just gets out there and flags his Ads, we can at least make it difficult. I, for one, have already flagged his Ads.
Mac
Keep flagging Gentleman!!!!!
I just did before coming on here.
heck with flagging, put your own post in after he post telling the truth about the sign/signs, That might prevent others from getting screwed
There was a guy who did that a few weeks ago and then the guy selling the fakes replied denying the allegations.
