Real?

questionable..

almost too nice

Not real, these were made twenty years ago or so.... Seller basically admits this in listing. One thing I've noticed is that the repros have a real hard time duplicating the old cobalt blue. The repros in most cases are darker, almost black. Hope this helps.

Thank you, Signs&Neons!

I totally missed the "Description"!

But then again, I got one thing from my "inquiry". You mentioned the Color is not right compared to the ORIGINAL!

IMO, Color-maatching is a nightmare if one to tries to get an exact copy of an "ORIGINAL".

How do I know this? I used to own a sign shop & our struggle was to get the colors "accepted" by customers. Glad we got out of that tough business!

Glad to help.... I would also note that I don't recall seeing this exact layout in an original sign? I have one similar in size/design but it reads SALES SERVICE instead of Motor Cars if I recall correctly?

Well, another "good" info on this sign.

Is it "FAIR" to say it is a "FANTASY" piece?

Thanks,

Hen
