Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Known & Suspected Unmarked Petro Reproductions Signal Gasoline Sign - genuine or repo???

I purchased a Signal Gasoline sign and am trying to determine genuine or repo?? Research done on Oldgas.com fakes and still cannot tell. Maybe a Andy Rooney repo but still not sure. Measures 11 1/4 across, 4 mounting holes and no white border?? Looks fake to me... Help!

aftermarket..

I agree reproduction.

Fake

Thats what I thought, may just fold it in half.

so...how do you know its a fake?

friend has one also....so i'd like to know...

Should have a white border around sign... Mounting holes in wrong place, should be inboard further on the red band (just touching the band)... The back looks off, from the only original I've owned (if I remember correctly)

That sandy looking, textured almost abrasive finish on the back of the sign is found on reproductions only (usually Andy Rooney).

Use it as a hot plate (trivet) LOL!

I have also seen a repo with a wide white boared also (Argentina)

so can somebody post front and back of the real thing?

I really am trying to learn something here...

pics are worth .... well...a million words...

Pictured is the Real McCoy..

thank you thank you thank you

now i can see it!!!!

Randy, I hope you don't mind me "blowing up" the photo? Now one can see some of the differences we pointed out...

thanks Bob..
