Hi Robert- I watch many items on ebay besides selling- there are not many real bargains that go overlooked especially in signs- if that Ford sign was indeed a 1500 to 2000.00 sign you would have seen many dealers all over it- if you watch who else is bidding - which is getting more difficult to do with ebay changes-you will get some idea as to who thinks its a good deal- there is also a wealth of knowledge here on oldgas to draw upon- as you found after the fact- It is a little iffy to bring up what you think is a bargain for all to see- but its all part of the learning process- Most of the real bargains are not on ebay and very few at shows- they are right in our own back yard- thanks Don

Thanks Don, my step-dad warned me that there werent too many people bidding on it which was strange. But then when your a kid you always have to hear it from some1 other then your parents before it sinks in. But thanks for the tip don it was really great advice. Robert

Robert, just my 2 cents but I think I've seen a Ford porcelain sign but it was marked Veribrite at the bottom. I could be wrong. Here's a Ford porcelain sign just listed on ebay made by Walker, just like the Chevrolet signs. Ebay auction 190070577208. Brent

Looks can be deceiving. At first, I thought that it was porceline when I bought it. However, upon a closer inspection at home, I saw that it was painted. It does look like a porceline sign, though.
