Take a look at her other items for sale! She knows what she is doing with that wording, that's for sure. People like this are the reason we have a reproduction problem! The problem appears next week, next year, a couple years from now, when someone else peddles these same signs with a little damage and some fake rust, and they have since become originals found in grampas old barn!
Every time a robbery of this nature occurs, it damages this hobby, and its occurring at an alarming rate, on a daily basis!

I agree ! It is out of hand ! That's why this site is a great source of info on repops. I refer people here all the time.We would need a whole new album on here for just the India and Argentina and now Germany fakes. And as we point out the repops flaws the people making them are reading it too. And as long as prices escalate, So wont the fake items.


Looking for Keystone,Pure,Sinclair,Texaco,Sterling and Gulf...Thanks, Brian

I asked the same question right after Kevin posted here ON 12/6. Still no answer yet, so I am guessing the response time must be in excess of 3 days.
