Do you happen to know the size? On the repro ones I have see the word "ALL" is not italicized. http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=258926&page=allThe trademarks looks to be missing on the one in your picture there is a pic of a real one in the link above.

Pretty sure originals are 12"x12"
IMO the one in your picture is repro. Fonts are incorrect, some items missing from the sign, Missing grommets with no evidence of damage, incorrect size.

I was speaking of the script posted by "fast66"...
"Heres a picture of an original (Large British collection)
It has the italic "ALL" and two "reg'd trade mark" (below both the Gargoyle and Mobiloil) and it also differs in the area of the handlebar.
Originals seem to be rectangular and repros square.
Compare original to the one on eBay mentioned in earlier post above."

They may be 9"x11" from what I have found by checking around. There is a nice example of the original in one of the gas books from 1994 but does not give size.

Thanks Kim and Keith for the comments. I notice multiple differences between the two signs... Trademark, corners, groments, font, size, etc. Another "decorator" sign.
