First of this I have seen but looks off to me. Look at the detail compared to my known original. I almost got burned (I think) on this as I put in a last minute bid. What's your take rest of his stuff is *****.

That guy has a bunch of signs that I had no idea were reproduced and just about every one seems questionable to me. No makers mark and most of the backs are similar...

This is depressing. I would love to have a real one of those in my collection. I will now be very wary.

I don't know about the porcelain signs but I was surprised this seller managed to get almost $200 for a late 1990s repro coke flange sign:

Usually sell for $30-40. He was careful to list it as vintage, not original I guess.
