I know, I know... I need to buy some books and I will. My uneducated gut says that this is real but I just threw it on eBay and wanted to be sure so I don't misrepresent it. Thx oldgas members for all the help I've been getting.

Thanks, I was wondering if there were currently reproduction tin signs with embossed letters anyway.

Most 24" round repro/fantasy signs on e-Bay are embossed signs.

I wanted to do a Hands On inspection but that was a Mistake. Had to buy a Fresh Cut Rib-eye steak for my eye!

My kid's baseball coach once told the boys they could go to Hooters if they won an important game. The other team never had a chance
