Thank you for your interest and information. I have had several people look at this sign including someone who use to make signs. Also the people at farm from where I received this from told me it was very old. Anything from the 1970's or older is truely vintage. This is a very nicely made sign and I have not seen another in this size that matchs the color of the larger 30" signs that I have seen. Even if this was a reproduction. I truely believe this is well worth what I am asking for this and I believe anyone who would purchase this would be well pleased.

Reproduction sign period. Not made in 1970's. Started being made in the 1980's thru today. Not a vintage sign either . Misuse of the word. They can talk that s--- if they want to but bottom line they are guilty of fraud when misrepresenting the sign even if they didnt know in the beginning. Reported

This seller needs an intervention!! Wow....

I turned them onto this one but their sign maker will probably tell them he's wrong
Fake sign truth

Changes the posting a bit when questioned.....now removed.

Vintage GMC Motors Porcelain Sign From an Old Estate Sale. Believe 1970's or Earlier. This came form an old farm estate sale in Pennsylvania. I took this sign to a friend of mine who is now in his 70's. He use to make signs for a living and he told me he believe's this to be 1970's or earlier. This sign is in very nice condition but does have some rust. You should be able to see the condition in the pictures. I am not an expert on these type of signs but I do know this is very well made and would be great for any collection or display. This measures Approx. 12" across and has rivets in the holes for easy hanging. This seems to have the same color as the larger 30" signs I have seen. I have not seen another just like this one in this size. I do believe anyone that would buy this would not be disappointed. I believe I am listing this for a fair and low starting price Thanks for looking. Any questions, please email.

Another Picker / Flipper who implies they have no idea what they are doing when it comes to vintage advertising; and of course throws in I spoke to the 70+ year old sign maker to take the onus off of them....."See no evil speak no evil". These "Junkers" need to just stay away from what they think are collectibles and stick with the garage sale junk....see their other items posted for sale.
