Both comments are correct I believe, the original has holes at 3 and 9 plus they are on the inside of the line not out by the edge, this has been discussed a few times in the past..Frank

To answer your question, that is a repop. Readily available from all the vendors selling gas pump restoration supplies.

I've pointed out in the past that the known repros do not have the Patent info at the bottom.....at least all of the ones I've found from the major parts suppliers. These have been discussed many times, I have one exactly like the one in question that I bought as an original a few years ago. The shelving is actually very good on this particular sign, and I posted photos of it in the past. I don't know if I'll ever know for sure, but for the $60 I paid for it I guess it don't really matter at this point what it is!
