I don't see the seller trying to pass it off as original nor saying that its not. He is just selling it at a sign, I just hope someone doesn't think its real.
Anyone know when or who made these? If the colors werent so far off from the original I would have had to really look at it because its a fair likeness to the original. IMHO.

Thats the same seller that passes off all of the T-53 Pegasus reproductions!
Just looking at this sign, I can fairly well say that its not an original, but draw your own conclusions!
Its time for everyone to mark this seller as someone that pushes this phony stuff onto the general public!

Did the running man carry a knife in any genuine advertising pieces?! When I seen this sign on Ebay I knew it wasn't old but the knife caught my attention....looked kinda hokey!

I have an pic of an original and there are 4 colors, orange, pea green, dark green, and off white for the lettering. And no, there was no machete or knife!

When you have sold that many signs you pretty much, with VERY few exceptions, know when you're holding a new sign in your hands. Doc, I think 'Fresh from a local estate' is going to take over where 'Vintage' left off.

Anyone know how many of these repops were made? 1 UNDATED Repop is TOO MANY. Whether it is one or a hundred, just like the T-53 Pegasus, they are still selling for crazy money.

It doesnt matter how many of these exsist. If the people making them feel they can make more $$$$ by making another batch....well then they'll do it. People making unmarked repops are in it for the $$$. They dont care one bit for the balance in our hobby.
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.
