I agree with Jim. It is getting harder to tell. Even if you had the item in your hands you could not be absolutely sure unless you could compare it with an original that you had absolute proof of its authenticity. I have seen many experts fooled over the years. You may have to "go with your gut". Dave

The way you know on this one without even seeing it guys , is #1 I know someone was making these 10-15 years ago . # 2 show me a picture of a White Rose station with a white rose door push on it . I find my old station pictures to be a great help when trying to find out if things are legit even before you look at them . I have an extensive Red Indian picture library , it sure helps . Old gas is the best place for anyone to ask these questions . great job by everyone for taking the time to comment , a great community people here .

Thanks to everyone for you input, great help as usual. I'm on the fence with this one. I think the best comment is "gas stations didn't have door pushes". My gut tells me to pass. It's a nice piece and probably is for the flour company.
Thanks again guys, appreciate all of your help. Les

Just so people know. In Canada, Supertest did use 2 different door palm pushes that I know of ( white porcelain and aluminum) and also B/A used a door push that was made from aluminum. I believe these to be the only 2 companies that used them.

I passed and my friend is besides himself but as we all know "make sure it's the real deal".
Thanks for the pic, that is real good information. Les
