So, if these are all "fake" who made them, and when were they made? They are have inconsistent chips and fading. I recall buying an old "HI-PLANE TOBACCO" sign at an auction years ago and the guy had a stack of them....all mint. But, they were original. Just NOS and never used or sent to vendors. Anyone know where these "fake" porcelain sign stuff is coming from and when it was made?
Where are these signs coming from you ask? In some cases a lot of the garbage is coming from overseas - India for example. But the types of signs you posted are manufactured specifically as garage or yard art, or kitchen decor. Here's an example:

The responses above represent decades of experience in this hobby. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss their comments.
