Pictured are two Magnolia Gasoline Signs, the first one I know the history of and that it is original; my question is on the second one is that a later version or a reproduction as the font changed and there is no "US Pat. Off markings"? I have searched but can not find any information on that sign other than one is listed as a sold piece through Worthpoint. Any insight would be appreciated.
Buying: Polarine / Red Crown Gasoline Globes and Signs, Early Chevrolet & United Motors Signs, and 1910's through 1940's Gas & Oil Signs.

I'm not an expert on font, but I would be 99% sure it's original if it's double sided.
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.
