I'm not sure why I didn't make an offer on it....
I'm comfortable saying, that IMO, you have the "real deal" and with what the prices have been lately... I am jealous of the price you paid for it... LOL
Lately... the prices have been "all over the board" as you know... So for $150, I would be very happy to display it in my garage... LOL
Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items

Here is the backside of mine that I have posted above. It is not a real heavy metal sign nor does it have thick shelving although you can feel the shelving. Split grommetts.

It is obvious and apparent from all the posts that this is another sign that has been spoiled by all the reproductions. Your chances of purchasing a reproduction are greater then purchasing an original. Another example of how unmarked reproductions hurt legitimate signs.
 Known procelain reproduction for $35.00.
 Unsure of this one...heavy shelving. Missing "trade mark info" & "with".

...looks to me like the mounting holes on the signs in question are a little too close to the edge to be practical...the 'known-to-be-old' signs have grommets, and the holes are in different locations...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

...used both sides to register the colors during printing? I dunno...you see the two-sided 'Contains Lead' signs that have one side overprinted with black or blue...

I have no idea what that would have been used for. I believe that sign was made DSP on purpose; due to the completely finished graphics on both sides.
I have a few of the double printed Contains lead signs, the second side is always flawed and never fully completed.
