This sounds more like you are looking for someone to help make you feel better about your purchase! Well, I have news for you--The only people that are going to help you with that are the crooks selling this garbage! This subject has been discussed to death and the main points are: Look thru any history of Mobil advertising--Its all in there if you look long enough! Not one of these signs is ever mentioned. Look at the back of the sign--How was it to be used or displayed? Theres no method to attach it to anything! In all of the millions of photos of Mobil memorabilia and pictures of this stuff in use, there is not one picture of this sign available! Think to yourself--if littleshanno has so many "perfect" ones for sale, how come they never show up in any of the archives or old photos? I believe your question is easily answered if you stop to think but there are enough of you out there that don't want the truth, that you'll keep on buying this garbage anyway! Hey, if you change your mind and decide it really is phony, you can always put it on ebay and call it "vintage". Just don't bring it to any major gas & oil swap meet unless you want people snickering and pointing at you! Hope this helps!

it doesnt look like you have used it for target practice yet?? people like you are the petro hobby's biggest problem!! knowingly trying to steal money from unsuspecting buyers by passing off junk repooped signs as a "texlite" manufactured sign. if you feel that mike in rockwell was misleading when selling it to you, then man up and go get your money back! otherwise advertise and sell it accordingly or hang it up on the outside of your garage and let it rot away. im guessing you will do niether, because i get the feeling the $$$ part of the hobby triumphs over everything else http://www.ebay.com/itm/STUNNING-VINTAGE...=item3377700483

gr8signfinds---Yes!--I'm very disappointed after all the conversations I have had with you about phony signs! You seemed to come off as someone that wanted to learn and do the right thing! Your ebay ad certainly leads one to believe otherwise! In the sign collector world--HONESTY is paramount! When you lose your reputation as an honest person, you might as well hang it up because people will steer clear of you. Even on the good stuff!

Why is he still a member on this site?
People that purposely and knowingly engage in activities that bring discredit to this hobby and prey on persons engaged in this hobby should not be allowed to be members of this site.
His self serving e-Bay listing shows an absolute disregard for others, lack of ethics, integrity, morals and self respect.
His actions are not in line with the spirit and intent of this site or the trust that we place in each other. Quite frankly, I'm appalled and bothered by his blatant attempt to knowingly sell a fake as a real sign. I'll be the first to call for his removal!

I'll second that Dave. The thing I surmise though is that this person signed up as a member specifically to post his query on the sign and will probably never be heard from again. Like other people who got ripped off on this sign and later found out, he came here for the solace that we were not going to provide, and to question yet again why the Old Gas collecting community KNOWS this sign is a fake. We have beat it into the ground discussing why, almost on a monthly basis, when yet another buyer gets burned on this sign, why we know it's not an original piece and our reasoning for knowing so. I agree with you totally though Dave on removal of "members" who pull something like this. It's just a bad deal any way you look at it. Darin
