Calso Supreme
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Calso-Supreme-Porcelain-Gas-Pump-Plate-Sign-/121776012201?hash=item1c5a6a7ba9

This is the second Calso sign the seller has posted. Includes a picture of old news paper to show they are old. It looks right for what I can find but I'm far from an expert. Real or Fake?


MOBILGAS SPECIAL
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MOBILGAS-SPECIAL-PEGASUS-GASOLINE-GAS-PUMP-SIGN-/181890411807?hash=item2a59836d1f

12" x 12.5" I think the size is off. There is no date. The border looks black and not blue. I'm thinking its a fake but can someone chime in please

Mobilgas Special is fake. Every sign that seller has sold is fake. The 66 signs are not even close.

Okay where is my soap box. Here it is:

I understand the confusion on some of the gas pump signs, similar sizes and mounting holes. But how in h e l l are people confused about those porcelain 66 signs? With the mounting holes on the side how would you post that on a poll on the side of a US route back in the 1926-1948? Duct tape and wire?

That is not directed towards you Kuriso, just had to vent on those darn US route signs popping up everywhere on eBay and going for 300-600 a piece. Another POS seller selling POS signs getting my SBP and DBP (blood pressure) up.

Thank you for the feedback on the Mobil sign. You confirmed what I had seen.

I also appreciate your feedback on those 66 signs. I've looked at those Texas 66 signs that look just like the ones he sold but they always go too high. It seemed stange that so many of them were coming up for sale. "Old pawn shop inventory clearance"
