Those are all examples offered by our South American supplier of aged fakes. That's most likely where they came from.

At least they are listed honorably;
"This is a Reproduction or "aged fake" sign, it is NOT real and it will be marked as a reproduction on the back side prior to shipping. It has obvious porcelain loss and misc rub marks as pictured. Free shipping in the USA, any questions just ask ! Measures 12 inches across "

Do you suppose he was a victim and is cutting his losses? Maybe he fell for the sales pitch and got stuck with a bunch of worthless signs???

Guess I am missing what all the fuss is about? As Dick pointed out......he listed them as repros/not real. Apparently some people can only afford or are only looking for what we have always called "Decorator Signs"? We sell some distressed signs that are tin and made to look old at shows.....for the person who wants something but has sticker shock caused by our original sign prices...If it was me selling these signs, I'd list them exactly this way and sell them knowing I was honest. As for price....$25.00 is not a lot. Probably cost him $15.00.....shouldn't he make some sort of profit? Just me talking....as always. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
