Looks like someone has added some gromlets to the sign Braden but i believe it is original....not worth much more than 500 bucks though...


Wanted early tin litho signage.
petro, farm, auto, etc.

I would say FAKE. The rust stains on the white lettering look like the stains on signs they soak in salty water to get to rust up. I just doesn't look right to me. the grommets look to small for what would have been originally been used, and the owner claims them to be original.

Real sign, replaced grommets. Not all were signed. Script is good.

Top value given condition is in that $500 range maybe a bit less.

These and the genuine parts Ford oval sign turn up regularly so unless you have to have it immediately I'd opt to wait for better condition.
