...an Oldgasser had one of these for sale on eBay almost four years ago, and while I made some inquiries, I did not post here regarding my concerns...I was rather meek then
and the seller was a purported Mobil authority...Jim was good enough to contact the seller, who insisted that the sign was authentic, possibly foreign...
...not too long after, someone started a thread about a seller at one of the shows having a good deal of items 'weathered' in the same manner...lo and behold - there's the same wretched, crude Mobil sign...
...RUN - do not walk, away from this sign...there are more red flags here than Chairman Mao's birthday party...Ingram Richardson would have burned down their factory before they put their mark on a sign this crappy...
...spread the word...the truth shall set you free (or at least keep some ill-informed sucker from getting ripped off)...
