I picked up this mobilgas pump plate along with some other signs. I suspect it is repop. However it is dated,but it seems to good to be real. I did good with the lot of signs It would be better if this was legit. Thanks

It looks correct to me. I have never seen one with so much rust staining. If that doesn't come off while it may be in great shape otherwise, if it's permanently discolored it isn't worth nearly as much as a white one, at least in my opinion. It's too bad as I don't see a chip on it! Good luck with the cleaning.

Looks like the real McCoy to me too and I've seen worse even staining than that on one too.

Soft Scrub w/bleach (smear it on. let it sit overnight do it's job try a test spot first).
Toilet bowl cleaner (don't let that sit overnight).
Lacquer Thinner (not paint thinner).
Use 0000 steel wool lightly or a non abrasive scrub pad.
Always try a small test spot before making a full blown effort.
GOOD LUCK!
