I'm into signs that are mainly gas and oil related however sometimes other stuff catches my eye.. I know this sign is reproduced.. Is this one legit? Also what is a decent number on this one?

May need to remove sign from frame and look for markings..

If it is repro..somebody did a hell of a job making it appear old and original.

Think your okay on that one, if it was mine it would be 375 on the ticket.

I believe there are two original signs sandwiched in there. IMO, I think Jason is right on with his estimate. 350-400. Frame 100.00 each sign 150.00 -185.00

I want to know if there are any markings on the bottoms.. confused

There is the exact sign in an auction near me (sort of)looks to be a bit better condition however.

That sign should be 1951 and I would question the script on the first side if you look at the left bottle in carton on each side you see a difference in logo .

There is damage . I'm pretty sure thats what you see. My previous guesstimate might be a on bit the higher side for the signs.

Those signs look legit - early 1950s. Probably marked on the bottom but hidden by the frame. $375 is definitely a solid number based on their condition. Joe
