http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-INDIAN-oil-s...=item58bfad8416 This guy is the champion . Real mint rack signs bring 5000 at auction . These repros are easily told from originals . Ask several Red Indian vets before you buy . That way you don't have to worry about getting burned . have a great old gas day !!!!!!

The listing is for a reproduction, not an original.

As I have said before, You can't go after the seller who is advertising them as a Reproduction. They date some of these and the next seller chips the dates out. If someone pays 5000 for a cheap repop sign, Not this sellers fault. You could spend all day contacting people and still not fix Stupidity!
Thanks

In my opinion, these sellers that are selling these signs are pretty close to the source and are ordering these signs to order. They are not dated or marked because they want to deceive. They could very easily make them a different size then the originals. End of story! No confusion with originals then. Safeguarding the hobby is not where their vested interests lie. They are only interested in maximizing their profits.
I wouldn't cut them any slack...they're low lifes!!!
