Well I learned a valuable lesson today ($962)
I bought a SOCONY aircraft oils sign from
a JERRY MCDONALD that was so obviously a repop when it arrived that I tried to return it. Then the "Just a Coincidence" post showed up and all my suspicions were confirmed. Jerry maintains this is a real sign even when confronted with obvious facts
that it is a repop. Needless to say I'm stuck with a repop as Jerry will not
offer even a partial refund. Paypal said too bad, it was not an ebay auction item your out of luck. So here is a picture of the fake sign next to a real one and everyone can now add a 20"x30" SOCONY aircraft sign to the list of reproductions. I guess if I can keep someone from making the same mistake some good will come out of this mess.
