ebay 131216853513
Its moving up fast but if you add things up you just may decide not to bid.
1. Found in Iowa (supposidly) 2. Seller seems to have a lot of reverse glass items from John Deere to you name it, and glass mirrors...all vintage of course. 3. Seller has one neutral for selling repop item and not saying so.
Wanted early tin litho signage. petro, farm, auto, etc.

So this particular sign is a repo but they did make this style? The things that caught my eye was the "droopy" nose and the more pronounced back eye lash. But by all means I am still quite green in this hobby.

I have yet to see in all my years a reverse glass piece but that does not mean they do not exist . I have a large number of red indian station pics and not one showing a reverse glass window . But again .............................

Here's my thought. If the company that made this piece clearly marks it as " Made for McColl-Frontenac Oil Co. Limited Canada" then why would this company not include their company name as the maker. Pride of craftsmanship is not evident here.

I am assuming this was made to be used in a light box. Am I correct?
Thanks,

Well, there are 8 bidders that have it up over $800 so far. Probably one of those deals that we'll never really know the answers about.

Read the small print at the very end of the ebay description, tells you all you need know. In my opinion this sign was made to fool but you know what they say about a fool and his money...

I did not read that disclaimer until today. That lets the seller out of alot of things but still doesnt justify deception wether he is aware of it or not.

Here's sellers disclaimer;
"It is the bidders sole responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value, or any other determinative factor. No items have been authenticated. Bidder shall be the sole judge of value. Bidder agrees that everything is sold 'AS IS', 'AS FOUND', or 'AS PURCHASED' and may not return any item. Payment is required within three days of the end of the auction. Due to the age of some of the items, not every single imperfection or flaw may be noted, but wear or obvious defects will be described in general or specific terms. ALL SALES ARE FINAL."
Intent is to deceive and shift responsibility. Seller's deceptive nature is further highlighted by the tiny font and all the spaces entered between the description. Have scroll down to see them.
After reading that BS most potential bidders would move on or at least I would.
