I looked at all of Ray's listings last night and it seems he may have turned over a new leaf. He seems to be listing his stuff honestly now. Good to see. Funny what a good spanking from Old Gas will do to ya! Next subject please, this one has been beaten to death!

My friend gave me a tip on how to tell an original from a repop in his own words; "I hope if you post this that you'll correct yourself and tell them I only purchased a small portion of Erol's collection.

These 5" plates are for a lubester, not a topper. Tankars is the real deal, and T-Rays is a fake. The way to tell real from repo is the star points. On a real plate the star points at 3 & 9 o'clock point directly to the round white circles on the border... The star points at 5 & 7 o'clock extend into the wording Made By The Texas Co. U.S.A. ...."

My questions have been answered, LOL.

Bob, Thanks to you and your friend! Now I see a big difference! That nugget of knowledge should hold true on all Texaco items. Take care! tt

This has been a very informative thread. I'm glad it wasn't closed. Somethings need to be hashed out.

Maybe turned over a new leaf for this one item but these new sunbeam signs and the orange crush signs sure scream repop. IMO Ted

I just wanted to give some info on the birdcage signs, as I am the other person who has a few of them. They are 100% original, with original boxes. They came from rayvic garage in minneapolis minnesota. Yes, the boxes are very worn, but I am sure that cardboard doesnt outlast a metal sign. Some of them do have slight rust, but the majority are in near perfect shape. google image search "rayvic repair" and that is the garage. Thanks

Chevy, This is the 3rd or 4th sign "nos" he has found. How would like to bought the first one and then see the others? What he is doing is fraud and if people would pay with USPS money orders and if a few complained about the fraud the USPS will go after him. I know because i had a guy 1 year ago this month rip me off and USPS is going after him as we speak.


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.
