Hello,
I just sold these on ebay, some for high prices but someone called me and said these were maybe reproductions. I should have done my research before listing them. I definitely do not want to send them out if they are not authentic. I want to give them full refunds. Please Help!
Thanks
Chris

I'm unfamiliar with that Mobiloil flange and the Speedwell pump plate, however, the others look good. Just my opinion. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

The Red Crown sign back does not look right. Iwas watching that sign and would not bid because of the back. It looks like one of the signs from down south got by.

The flying A has rust on the back too. I would not buy any of his items.

I believe the Red Crown is a reproduction; back does not look right compared to condition of sign, only remember seeing this sign as a flange, shelving of Porcelain on front does not like right for a sign of that time period, and the wear on the right edge is indicative of the fakes that are aged.
76 sign I believe is real.
Mobiloil sign not sure maybe a Mobiloil collector can chime in; have never seen this flange and the "chipping" patina seems very odd.
Speedwell just doesn't look right, maybe google the wording lower right corner to determine authenticity.
Buying: Polarine / Red Crown Gasoline Globes and Signs, Early Chevrolet & United Motors Signs, and 1910's through 1940's Gas & Oil Signs.

Looks like the seller in India is doing a good job getting his merchandise mixed in American collectors collections.
31 people bid on the sign that sold.
