[Insert smilie icon banging head on wall here]

Attention readers of this thread in the future archives:

THE SIGN PICTURED IN THE ORIGINAL POST IS NOT LEGIT, IT IS A FANTASY CREATION THAT WAS NEVER IN USE.

Forget jawlines, fonts, Oswalds five o'clock shadow, unrelated magazine ads, grandpas stories and anything else thrown in to muddy the waters.

Anyone voting in a poll that this PHONY sign is real has one (or more) they want to pawn off on an unsuspecting buyer, is deluded, or just wants to stir up controversy.

Tim, if seller is offering your money back, take it and be grateful. As an unmarked fantasy though, someone else will end up with it later on. Just curious, is seller a poster on this forum?

I hereby offer $50.00 US dollars to the first person that provides me with a bonafide photograph of the sign in actual use.

Thank you Jim for the use of this forum to educate collectors on fraudulent signs that are out there on the market meant to deceive folks. This particular sign has been known to Oilzum collectors for some time. Thanks to the many who don't want to be in the fray but have contacted me off the site and thanked me for speaking up and taking the arrows.

Now I'll patiently await that photograph.
