Pretty new to the hobby and ran across this today. I am guessing it is a sight glass sign for a 50s era pump?? I have never seen one with the gas price sign. Can you tell if this is authentic? Would it be worth $40? All info is appreciated.

Thanks

Reproduction. Attaches to the top of a visi gauge on a 30's-40's tall electric pump.

You did good, it maybe a reproduction but for what you paid it has the look. Can't confirm if it is authentic but for forty bucks I would have jumped all over it.


Have gas all the time

Couple things. Too many imperfections in the casting. The fonts used for the numbers and text on the paper insert are modern.
