katfsh,
Are you saying my sign is a repro? It isnt.
It was acquired in the early 70's by the husband of the previous owner whom I've known for a while. Do more research before throwing that out there.
I cant stand misrepresented repros either. Please go to ebay to overpay for those.
Stout sign has been around since 1886.
Stout has made a repro of this sign, mine is not it. Repros have a "limited production of 750" on the bottom.
Mine has the date code in an outdated font . That is why I included the bottom sign information to avoid any confusion.
Does yours have "imitation grape Flavor" under the Grapette?
Mine has a mottled green back I have seen on late 50's and early 60's signs.
Here's a picture for you to compare:
