With that heavy shelving, I'd have to guess "REAL."
"T" could = TEXLITE...weren't they a sign mfgr?

This one is new to me, but I'm with Doc thinking it is a Texlite sign made in Dallas, TX. But I've never seen a pump plate with a month/year date code which looks like what this probably was, July of 4?. Maybe Richard has seen one through his years of collecting. A while back I saw my first example that had Made in USA on it, from the mid 50's with the line border, but it was new to me. There are so many versions of Mobil pump plates it's crazy! BTW, it looks good to me too. Darin

Not sure on this one....Shelving looks quite heavy for a pump plate and the loss of porcelain near screw holes would show some evidence around the edges..I am aware of the fact different sign makers had some variations. I could be wrong.
