I've always wondered about the authenticity of this sign. Thoughts?

Never seen this sign before but the dealer that has it has had alot of questionable items. I would stay away from it!

That sign is real questionable. I would say away from it.

Paint looks nicely done for display, But in my opinion it looks homemade.

I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT EITHER. SOMETHING DON'T LOOK RIGHT! JM2C!

I think this sign was made for TGIF Fridays.....I also looked at the sellers other items & most everything is legitimate & if its not the seller says so...If you ask me this seller is an honest one......

Are my eyes playing tricks on me again??? The reason I ask, is the seller says it is a dbl sided sign. To me the middle photo is of a single sided sign with a "homemade flange"?

That is exactly what I see- must of took pre picture before double sided sign was complete. BEWARE!

picture #1 is of side one & picture #4 is of side 2....

I've seen this same type sign two different years on the "World's Longest Yardsale". It does look newly made if you see it up close. I'd steer clear of this one. Just doesn't look right to me. Just my opinion....Dale

I guess I don't understand? Is it 2 single sided signs bolted together? Photo #3 is a single sided sign with a white back and painted front, or atleast it looks to me that way. Too me, a dbl sided sign is "embossed" or "painted" on both sides of a single piece of material.

I SEE THIS...

PIC #1 SHOWS THE FLANGE ON THE LEFT GOING AWAY FROM THE VIEWER.
PIC #4 SHOWS THE FANGE ON THE RIGHT COMING TOWARDS THE VIEWER.

CERTAINLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT'S DOUBLE SIDED LIKE THE SELLER SAYS.

BUT PIC #3 IS MISLEADING!

Advertologist...it sure does speak of someones character when they bash others online when they don't even know them....I guess this sellers feedback is pure luck (100% positive...).

Help an old guy out here. I'm looking at the sign as I am typing this, I see 2 photos with flanges, #3 and #4. Photo #1 is a straight on shot that doesn't show a flange, just a rolled edge on both sides and #2 is close up of part of the sign. And as I pointed out, photo #3 is of a single sided sign with a white back. Also in photo #3 one can't tell if the sign is right side up or upside down because only the flange and back are shown.

Or atleast that is what my tired old eyes are seeing.

Grabber aren't you doing the same thing, that you are complaining that Advertologist is doing? Unless of course you know Advertologist personally?

I think in picture #3 the white sign is actually painted...but glare is making it look white?

I guess 2 wrongs don't make a right Bob...Have a nice night...
