I like it, but Kevin has one, so check with him, and let us know. Looks real to me. Looks like some one else to bid against. LOL

There's an embossed tin one in the January Morphy auction, #1170 tried to post but didn't work out. Don't know if they were tin or porcelain. Ted

Here are the photos of mine. Its an embossed tin tacker and every one I have seen, has been that way, BUT-- It doesn't mean there weren't porcelain examples made???
Looks pretty sloppy and the variation in size and shape of lettering bothers me some (especially the "r")!
I wouldn't buy ANYTHING from him, just based on principle! He is a crook and I don't deal with crooks!

definitely fake. multiple strikes...
-all known examples are tin, not porcelain
-lettering is all goofy
-being sold by one of the top sign scam artists
anyone not familiar with this seller and his items, needs to stay off of ebay, otherwise you are sure to get burned

Seeing Kevin's now, this is an awesome sign!! Just something about it that really catches me. The original of course. Not the fake. Very nice!!
