What does the UP/Down on the sign mean & did it come that way or was that added?

Up on rack-shop hour rate starts/ Down off rack bike completed
To help shop manager figure labor cost. JUST A GUESS
Value won't guess on that one. Harley items seem to soar to all time highs on ebay.

This is 100% repop. I seen a guy over in Ohio, I think he may have once owned a company called AAA Sign or something like that. Several of these showed up at the Rogers Flea market a few months ago. They were aged to make you think they were the real deal. I am sure you will find more at Brimfield next month.

The back sure makes it look like a fake. I am by no means an expert, plus the looks of the different scripts and layout on the front. Hate to tell you, but it sure looks fake.

I have quite a few dated and real signs that have rolled edges and a green back..as far as different fonts and the layouts ALOT/MOST of real signs have different "layouts" and fonts on the same sign. most all repop tin/painted metal signs have that. Just about all repop's have white backs and very few will have a rolled edge...without holding it my hands I would have to say its real. Darryl, you have been in this biz for at least 20 years and you find some killer stuff. Give me a call..you have my number. will I see you at Pate in a couple of weeks?

Same sign. Just go to Brimfield next month and you will see more than one with green back and rolled edges. They will not be 12 bucks, but $35 will get you one unless it has traded hands a few times before it is offered to you.

Just about all repop's have white backs and very few will have a rolled edge... It seems all the repos I come across have green backs and rolled edges...

The repos are $75-$100, brand new, white back & no rolled edge...your saying that this person who apparently will be at Brimfield with some of these green back & rolled edge ones ??..They are artifically aged, then painted for more effect with the line & words, up----down...and they are only $35?? wow somebody is really losing money....... i aggree with you Paddy, the green backs are the right ones on chalkboards ........even most of the others like Coca Cola, Pepsi & all the others who had chalkboards made had this had green backs & rolled edges...
