A friend of mine thinks these ebay pectons are all expensive fakes. He finds it strange that all these never before seen pectons that have shown up in the last year are the same basic two shapes, including the Sinclair ones.

Wow, I don't know the first thing about license plate toppers but the point brought out here does make a guy wonder. I had bid on the speedway one but it went out the roof. The shape of all these and rareity makes me want to ask a LOT more questions. I hope someone with knowledge of these chim in here. I looked again, and saw that it was three different sellers.

We have talked about the Red Head one before. That is the correct address for the Red Head station on Monroe St in Toledo,Ohio. After Red Head it was a Hy-Flash Station smile

Is it real??? I would hate to say because of the money it brought!!! OUCH

Its very obvious that the same person wrote all these descriptions in these auctions & yet they all are listed under different names...that leads me to believe the same person is behind it & has used different names for a good reason
& that would be they are most likely fake.....the red head was just on another thread here with a different seller not long ago.....The 3 rd one is for sale by ebay name ":joepetescousin"...i know Joe Pete from Texas & he's been doing this advertising thing for many years.........

Good way to hide fakes under different names. Could be the same seller with more than one name too.
