Man,If true thats sad...But look at the other auctions he has...They look repop to me...Why do people go overboard on the rust and chips on repops?

when you think you've heard it all, quite a story:
Mobil Porcelain pump plate/sign .Very small at about 8 1/4 across convex shaped back and about 8 3/4" from top to bottom .There are two numbers near the bottom 12 and 41 , This could be the date of the sign . I do not know . The sign is curved as if it were once mounted to a round pump . It is fairly heavy for it's size . It is chipped , scratched , rusted , dinged , and has many scars .It is stained with what looks like rust .Not mint by any measure . I am now blind, and can no longer enjoy this sign , but my friends say this is a beautiful sign . My grandfather gave me this sign just before he passed away . I know it was greatly loved by him . (I do not know the age or origin of this sign) other than where and how I got it .I have to rely on another person for shipping , so please forgive me if I take a few days to ship it

My grandfather gave me this sign just before he passed away.

Being that signs are a visual thing (to be looked at), why would you give one to a blind person ???
