without being properly marked as a fantasy piece... it is bound to fool an unsuspecting buyer in the future, even if you sell it for what it is.
if I was rich with unlimited funds, I'd offer you your money back just to have a shattering party with it at Iowa Gas next year... seems like something DB would be proud of.

Guys the company only stopped using the Red Indian name around 1950 .I have calendars and pics of the signs up after 1946 . So why would anyone repro a sign in he 5o"s that makes NO sense . Someone out there knows the truth . Again I tell myself and other guys look at the old pics . Ask the old guys that lived it . Chances are you will make out alright .

It would take a darn good piece of hard evidence to convince me it's not a fantasy piece. No hear say or old timer talk for me on this one.

I would sure hate to have some of these guys on OLDGAS sitting on a jury ,, GUILTY, without any evidence either way,, " It is what it is "... this is still a free country to buy what you like and do what you want,, not like some of those country's that are at war all the time. This is North America !!

i dont think anyone cares that Randy bought it... they just dont want to see it used to fool more people in the future - thats all.
imagine if no one ever bought or resold any signs from India... we wouldn't be in the situation we are now with those signs. the problem is, someone sees a heavy porcelain sign from India that they can get for $100 and they know that they can fool someone into paying $500 once they are selling it as a US-based seller. and then greed ensues.

Showed it to Matthews & Morphy both was told it is definitely old they dated it 1950's and said they felt it was reproduced of one of the signs but wasn't something made the other day it had major age to it If, I was those guys...I'd be pretty angry that you had dragged my good name into your self serving greedy little venture. Wasn't too long ago they were tricked by a Hobby Lobby Ford pail. They thought it was also from the 50's. http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=554217&page=all

So far from what I have read on this blog, NOBODY has proven it to be repro or original so why do some have it carved in stone that it is repro,,, to me it's ok to have an opinion on whether it's original or repro. BUT telling someone what they should buy or not buy and you hope he drops it and breaks it into a million pieces ? Really ?

Fellas--This has been a good discussion on this piece up until some of you let personal feelings take over. If you want to continue discussion of the item, that is fine, but if personal issues continue, the thread will be locked.
