This sign has always been a favorite of mine, but I have never seen one this nice with the lower panel. I think its a great piece. It is not my auction.

I've got this sign and have always looked for the lower part of it and never seen one. Cool to see the bracket with it. I wish I could afford to bid on it. To close to Christmas.

He might get it back when the buyer sees it's not porcelain like the title says.

I have one of these and it is porcelain, and have seen several thru the years, all porcelain. But this sign looks TOO perfect, could it be a repro? I know it is reproduced, but I thought the repop was porcelain also. First time to see the add on panel.

I've owned several, bought a small stack years ago, still own one and have seen many. The paint is thick and I've seen many call them porcelain but I have personally never had nor held one. Not saying they don't exist but if they do I'd like to see a pic.

I need to pull mine off the wall and look at it better. I don't think mine is porcelain.

I have both pieces also. They are both a heavy baked enamel.
