I was glad to see the small 8" round ethyl sign in this auction. I posted about this particular sign on OG in 2011 and didn't really get a definitive answer on it being a repro or not. I bought it for $72 as I just had the feeling it was correct. The odd hole placement was what was most different about these particular round ethyl signs, and they're tiny holes at that. They're thin signs but the shelving is in high relief on these. I'm glad I bought it seeing what this one just sold for, lol.

My original thread from 2011, can't believe I actually located it.
