Had the chance to pick up a great sign off ebay. Needed a good cleaning so here are some before and after pics. Not sure if it is real or a fantasy piece Turned out real nice and is HEAVY (about 16lbs). Enjoy.

I've got the same sign and think it's probably a fantasy piece. Perhaps made for a restaurant chain. I think the better question is was there ever a real one?

Yea I was thinking it was a fantasy piece also. Thanks for the fast response.

If it is a fantasy piece someone paid some $$ at Barrett Jackson :

Barrett jackson sign is not the same . The thick up and down lines,in window,behind hand. Or is this something they did to keep someone from robbing image?

Neat sign if I had 3or4 ,I could put windows in garage.

I bought one of these several years ago with the same "shellac" painted on for patina. I'm not seeing any difference in this one and the B-J one. Counting by the thumb, there are the same number of lines in both. I'd bet on fantasy-reproduction if not. I still like it. BTW, I paid 125 for mine about 10 yrs ago-oops!
