I bought this sign to be a nice hanger and the seller listed it as a repop. The more I look at it the more I am not sure if it is a repop or an original. The quality of the paint seems too nice to be a repop. The small bit of rust in the corner is the only flaw. It is perfect otherwise.
What is the verdict? Did I get a nice repop or did I force someone's grandmother to eat cat food because they sold me a good quality original for the price of a cheap repop? Value?
Thanks!
Tim

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Well I feel bad but not too bad. I saw it advertised as a repop. I thought it was fairly priced for a repop at $20. The seller made it clear that it was a repop when I talked to her on the phone and she even offered to drop the price when she discovered the rust. I told her it was no big deal because I was buying it to hang on the wall. I was in quite a hurry when I picked it up and she met me at the door with the sign. I handed her the money and she handed me the sign and I did not really look it over until I got home.
Win some, lose some. I had a pretty crappy day today but at least one thing went my way!
Thanks for the info Jared.

I'm pretty sure that one has never been repro'ed. I had one at one time. You never mentioned if the
dimensions on yours matched those posted in Petretti's. Good deal @$20.

It does match the dimensions that Jared posted. And it will still go on the wall. Love the looks of it.

Great Deal..you brought it for what the seller said it was a $20 repop; that fact that is a original is just Good Karma  .... I believe when you do good for others; good will return to you or in other words what goes around comes around! |
