It looks fake to me, the winged foot looks real sloppy. Is this real? Did they make signs like this or is it a fantasy piece? The plane looks like the plane from the socony air craft sign.

I seem to remember seeing some kind of print in the yellow border and/or on the back saying "property of Goodyear Rubber Co." Or something to that effect on most all original Goodyear signs.
To me it looks like a total fantasy piece from india or argentina...etc.

Bingo!
That's the same plane graphic as on the SOCONY AIRCRAFT OILS sign!

That's the airplane from the poorly made reproduction SOCONY Aircraft signs. It has the miss shaped engine and the tail rudder is chopped off where the N in SOCONY is place on the sign. I love it when one crook steals from another !

Thanks for the comments, I agree it does have a very lopsided appearance. I think its a fantasy piece as well.
