well i went to the auction and they had 4 real porcelain signs, besides the 3 reproductions signs i got there a hour early to look over them all and it looked like someone damaged the signs in the corner of the signs where vintage concepts would put the date some guy was also looking at them too and asked me my opinion and i told him the 3 were reproduction. then the auction starts the 3 reproduction signs sell between $300-$600 each meanwhile im sitting in my seat all the way in the back in shock the sealtest sign comes up for auction and ends at $375 i go to the bathroom then go sit in my seat and someone comes up to me and tells me did you tell someone that those 3 signs were fake, i said yes, a min later the guy that bought the 3 signs came up to me and asked me the same question and i told him they were reproduction he then walked right down the front isle to the owner and told him he was not buying them because they were fake
the owner then came over to me swore at me and i told him i did nothing someone asked for my opinion and i gave it, he then swore at me again and kicked me outta the auction.

Good on you Mark; you did the right thing. You are a much nicer guy then me. They would have had their hands full with getting me to leave.

What surprises me is that no one else left the auction when you were asked to leave. Why would anyone at that point want to buy anything from there.

I'll second the motion put forward by DB.

I received several PM's and emails from Jon Soderlind(AKA Tellmarshall) as he was trying to make a deal with me on the Cadillac sign.
I had helped him out by enlarging his picture for all to view and I expressed an interest in the sign and it led to quite a bit of communication between us!
When he posted the picture of the Cities Service sign being peddled on Old Gas, I questioned him about his connection to a sign that was supposedly in New Hampshire and being sold from Columbus, Ohio???
He immediately removed himself from the PM and has never contacted me again. Too bad as I really wanted to know the connection in that little deal???
All this deceit really makes a person cautious but maybe that's for the better??

Yeah - I had inquired about this sign too (I have an original with neon). But it didn't look right to me and then he vanished.
