...Doc, if you enlarge the photo on eBay, then go to the menu bar and click:
View > Page Style > No Style
...you can then copy the enlarged photo...works for me in Firefox, but not Safari...just be sure to change it back:
View > Page Style > Basic Page Style
...or you won't be able to browse...

Thought I`d add my 2 cents to this. I`m new to the site but have been watching off and on for years. I think these are the work of John Clifford from Monticello Indiana. He supposedly sold out a couple of years ago, but I hear he`s back at new signs. I believe the oval outboard motor signs that were discussed here a while back were his invention too. I have seen a Texaco outboard motor one that turned up recently also.I`ve heard he has a web site,but can`t recall what it is. If my memory comes back`I`ll post it.

just my 2 cents..........nothing wrong with buying repops as long as they are priced as repops and not passed off as originals. There's a host of guys who show up at the shows who sell repop signs and fantasy globes and that's okay as long as they don't try to pass them off as real.
If you like the design and don't mind a repop or two in you collection, make an offer knowing that its a repop. Chances are you'll never see the design in real life.

You are right Hembird. Some of the new signs are kinda nice if you can buy them right. But those new porcelain signs that John Clfford sells as old are showing up everywhere at big prices.Some of my friends bought from him at antique shows for big bucks and he refused to give them back their money when asked.He`s been lying low for a while but has been resurfacing through various sellers on Ebay.Now I hear that he`s filtering them through dealers in the South. Best thing to do is keep informed.

The guy selling these signs is Dale Robinson of Sycamore, ILL. He sells some signs on ebay. His farm related signs he puts on Yesterday's Tractor (ytmag.com). I believe he sells a mix of original and reproduction signs.
