Here is a "dated" IR Mobilgas PPP, suspicious looking.
Up to $257

http://www.ebay.com/itm/131136640576

Is this seller related to someone posted about in the past as seller of replicas?

Probably looks odd because you don't see a lot of the really late 50's plates for sale that often. Plate is original.....

Sorry I should've have looked harder before I posted but this is what I found:

LittleShano and this seller sell/photograph from the same house despite different addresses.
Cautionary red flags were raised at that time.

Darin the location and script looks different than other IR signs. I have seen the Texas signs marked on the bottom.

The Ingram-Richardson (IR) plates from 1954 on are the "thin border" versions with the date in the lower point. The later 50's dates seem to be thin for some reason, not as bold as the earlier plates.
