They are all convex signs. One would think, he would have enough brains to fake the damage differently on all the signs.

Look at the bidders going crazy on his POS signs.

Only, if I could speak to all those bidders....For the love of all things holy, please promise that you'll never ever home-school your children.

it's not new that germany make porcelain reproductions and pretty good ones, they are done exactly like it was on the old days, but usually they are sells on shows and on ebay as a reproduction or a new ones, sadly they are those sellers...

for the high prices, german people have really much money and doesn't care to pay 3 o 4 time the price for an item they want and they are misled by scammers who offers repro or fantasy signs...

another exemple are those badly done coca cola chest cooler cmoing directly from india, being sold as old item in germany, they bought them without thinking it's reproduction

if you want to buy german porcelain signs, find out about porcelain signs, they are legits signs in germany too that are fantastic, as you need to know every original german signs were signed and dated on bottom or on the back ( "boos Hahn, pyro email" with usually a rooster logo on it )

I emailed the seller asking how old the signs were and received the following response

"there is no mark or date on them. I bought a lot on collector markets, most in Belgium Europe. But I estimate that they are not older than 10 - 15 years".

While it would be nice if this was admitted up front sometimes all we need to do is ask.

WOW. I agree, you'd think the seller would have enough brains to make each one a little different.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It seems to be working real well for him.
