Not to be contentious at all, but it evidently is no longer easy for the veterans to tell as is evidenced by this continuing saga. I do like to think that I've handled enough signs over the past 20 years to tell an original when it is in my own hands, but over the past couple of years we have had those far more experienced than I to admit that they have bought fake signs "in hand." In the past we have based authenticity many times on opinions of those experienced, but as more and different items appear, sometimes the answer is not going to be known without hard, documented evidence.This continuing saga is proof of that.
