CAN SOMEONE VERIFY THAT THIS IS A AUTHENTIC PUMP PLATE!
THE #'S ON BACK MADE ME THINK THIS MIGHT BE A OLD ANDY ROOOOOONY ,OR IF I WAS LUCKY MABE A AUCTION HOUSE,OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT! ANYHOW,

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DEAD GIVEAWAYS ON PUMP PLATES THAT YOU COULD EASILY IDENTIFY IT AS A REPOP?
I HAVE READ IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE GROMMETS ON THESE! LIKE IF THEY WERE SPLIT OR NOT SPLIT?? BRASS OR CHEAP METAL GROMMETS??
THANKS FOR THE HELP FELLA'S THIS GUY HAS THIS UP THE STREET FOR-SALE AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I AM NOT BUYING A FAKE,SO HE LET ME PHOTOGRAPH IT EARLIER!

MORE PICS

I believe it's a fantasy piece. Not any good other than decoration.

cool, thanks for that info ! i sure am glad i asked ! thanks again!

now it makes since why i could not find any others to compare it to! i had my fingers crossed ,lol hoping it was a diamond in the rough kinda deal! oh well & thank you again!

I HAVE ONE ALSO ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY GARAGE. BOUGHT IT IN 1983!

Buy or Collect all the Repo Catalogs you can get [GPH, Vic's, Webers, Time P*ssages, etc] so you know what is offered as Repo/Fantasy.

Didn't we just have that conversation DB?

IMO, the best indication that it's NOT real is the price!! If real, the decimal point would likely be two spaces to the right.
