The back seems to be a dead give away...as well as no grommets or any damage where they would have been. BUT you never know..thoughts?

Your right, the back is a dead give away. All originals I've seen have had white backs. INDIA REPRO.

Probably the same sign

It is the same plate. If you check their feedback odafoosy current seller on e-Bay received feedback from stencilwork (Known Indian counterfeiter of procelain signs)on Sept 29, 2012 and he left feedback on Oct 2, 2012.

What a bunch of crooks!

For what it's worth. I sent the seller a message and reported the sign to e-Bay as a counterfeit.

Jeremy. It's next to impossible to PROVE anything as fake. One of the drawbacks of not having an official certification or etc. system.
