Pretty much every one you find on ebay is a fake.

Shell NEVER made a small (12"+/-) YELLOW Porcelain Pump Plate.

Look at the 4th picture in the Dr. Shell topic in showcase to see what authentic signs look like.

That particular sign is a fantasy "pump plate"

This is how an original should look! Jim

That Golden color pump plate is fake. That style was used as a decal on pumps of that era I believe. The red and yellow is the real deal, four grommets and a black backing.

Yes, all the the plates I've ever seen in real life say "made in usa"
