It appears original...but I would like to see if you can confirm or otherwise enlighten me as to that issue and then it’s value considering the top left corner cut. It measures 7.75 inches wide by 7 and 5/8th inches tall. It has 2 of the 3 grommets and is otherwise in good shape. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hell, I'd rather put $100 in a damaged original than pay what these yahoos are for the fake "IR47" dated junkers that flooded the market in the last year.

I have a 50+ inch Mobilgas Sign that also has the top and bottom left side missing. I mounted it on plywood and painted the wood to match the sign. I will do the same for the little guy! Thanks again! Steve Last edited by Stephenwarren30; Sun Sep 09 2018 07:45 AM.
