I would appreciate your help determining if this sign has any chance of being good. I can not seem to find another one anywhere for comparison could be a fantasy item. Also the sign looks very flat no difference in heights of the colors. Thanks for your help. The sign is porcelain not painted thanks.

It is a painted sign for sure & could very well be a fantasy sign so I dont know about this one. I have not ever seen it before. I agree with Randy on the graphics though

That certainly is a neat sign, great design. Like Brad, I've never seen it before, as an original or a repro/fantasy sign. The thing that sticks out that worries me is the white back....looks pretty fresh to be a possible 1930's era sign.

If you look at the airplane it looks post WW2. No idea of originality, but sure looks nice.

Never seen anything Clark with the words "Clark" like that. almost everything they have is straight letters on the word Clark. White back... i would pass it by!
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

This artwork came off of a Matchbook that Clark put out. I've got the match book...and a lot of Clark stuff. In my opinion, this is a fantasy sign

Dave, Man you are the Clark guy! I do recall seeing a match with something like that on it.
Never any signs or globes or oil cans like that though.
