Kz, Don't waste your time with some guy like this... he is just trying to stir the pot. He is new and likes reproduction junk, he's a decorator...


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

What a shame. I think my favorite part of the hobby is walking into someones garage and seeing something I've never seen before. Maybe catching a picture on here of something fantastic. These people are stripping that awe factor away with these repops. They are opportunists, always on the hunt for money. Like a purse snatcher!!! They are copycats, zero creativity, zero imagination, zero responsibility!!!


see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

there's the mispelled frontier sign...I would assume that all of them are repops.

...I don't think all of the Chicago Motor Club signs are fake...there's just a lot of them out there...

...now, the one in the photo, I ain't rightly sure about...but the 'BONDED SERVICE STATION' type is definitely different than on the originals I've seen, and there should be FOUR hanging holes...so it's probably fake too....

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
