This might be really obvious, but this red hat sign is being advertised as authentic but I am leaning towards it being a fake. I know how rare they are but I didn't think these were made with a white flange. I don't know a ton about red hat so I could be wrong, but does anybody think this is possibly a real sign or is it an obvious fake? Sorry I don't have a better picture or picture of the back. Appreciate any opinions. Thanks

With the sign in question (white flange) some of the lettering is computer generated. Not all, but look at the "Trade Mark" lettering. Way too even for the time period. There are other things wrong as well, but the lettering is a sure sign that sign is phony
