http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-Original-Gulf-2-Sided-Porcelin-Sign-With-Stand-/141504367669...the frame might be old, but the sign is one of the crude knock-offs from a few years back - the light blue is wrong and the registration is poor...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I think that is a wagon wheel or something because it does not seem to mount to the pole right. The L brackets appear flay and not rolled at all. Strap base is real. Sign is certainly the knock offs. I know someone that has one of these and bought it right from the guy that I believe made them in the 80's. The guy actually lectured me that I just don't know big money when I see it. Someone will be getting burnt on this listing though because the price is JUST attractive enough....

Sad thing is at that price he might get someone to bite on it!
Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

I talked to the seller claims to be unaware and said they would edit listing to reflect it not being real
