As I said earlier I am no expert on signs, but I have been a member of this site for several years and I do read and learn as much as I can from the various posts about all types of fakes and reproductions to educate myself to try to avoid making expensive mistakes. I also know that a COA is simply a piece of paper. Just looking at the pictures of the sign you posted I see multiple red flags that would make me think it to be a modern reproduction. The quality of items manufactured in the 1950's in America would have been much higher than this. The misalignment of the printing of multiple colors, the variance in scale of the lettering and the suspicious wear patterns just shout buyer beware. If you already own this particular sign I would try to get my money back from the person you bought it from. If you are considering buying this sign I would not buy it. As Kevin said, you asked for opinions and I am just giving you mine. Good luck.
