Found this on Craigslist, located in North Texas.

looks like it got trimmed...

Guess that is a "Rare" squield (aka square shield)

I don't think it's trimmed. If you look closely at the photo looks like there are shelving units pressed up against the sign to hold it upright and in place.

Not a bad entry level sign for that price.

Good eye Dave!

I called the guy and asked if was trimmed and he said it was. Good price on lubesters if you want to restor one. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/atq/4009387085.html

Bad eye Dave. lol

I texted the guy regarding the sign; said he had it sold then an hour later said that the price went up to $900 as he had it listed too cheap....now wants an best offer. Would not answer me on the sign being cut (never texted me back); in over is head I think....... and with the sign being cut $500 is too much IMO.

Update; got back to me and stated the sides square, "I think it's the way it was made" are his exact words to me......I was right he is in over his head!

Sent him two pics of complete not cut signs.....dead silence now on the text messages.

He sent me more pics and explained to this "Rookie" how the sign hung outside of a Gas Station etc..etc...in denial at this point.

It went from $500 to $900 now back down to $700...

Sorry Dave, Sign HAS been trimmed.

Save your money.....not worth $100 in that condition.
