NO guessing or assuming ..

I think it's now common knowledge that these are fake, repop or fantasy. Never made one in that size with T53. That is the dead giveaway.

I am not a sign guy but everyone of these that I have seen in person it looks like someone cut them with a plasma cutter. Very rough all the way around really sloppy looking
Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

How would you attach that particular sign to the bldg?
unless there where Pegasus shaped frames to put it in
There is no mounting brackets on the back.
That plus T-53, plus that size, plus mint on front then rusty AND a rough back =repo.

Ive never seen one with a chip in the porcelain.....they all seem to be 9+ condition?? As many as there are out there, it doesnt look like any of them hung outside for 1 day

I'm no expert but the white border is very uneven around the edges of the sign, it looks horrible.
