I dunno guys, lettering is all wrong, there is no design flow to the layout. The "GENUINE MOTOR OIL" letters are a flat typeface placed in a circle instead of designed around it. It certainly doesn't match the other ones shown....

I agree. Something seems off. I bought the crushed one and feel it's right lol.
One was withdrawn from auction not that long ago that looked very similar to this one now on ebay

I see some lettering differences that would keep me away. Too much $ to take a gamble.

the text with '5 Gallons' and 'Harley Davidson Motor Company' look way too modern & computer generated

IMO, it is one of 2 cases:

1- Hand painted
2- Decal

I believe it is #2
