Title: Is this an original sign?? Post by: rr82 on May 02, 2010, 11:35:33 am Hello guys, I was just curious if this was an original 50's or a repo? It doesnt have any AM# stamp on it or anything like that. I wanted a button sign so I picked it up. It would be great if it was the real deal. :hopefull: I dont think the photos worked out to good. It just ended on ebay. I'll try to post the link.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250621685448&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:US:1123

there are 4 slot/holes at 12 -3 - 6- 9 for mounting. Title: Re: Is this an original sign?? Post by: rr82 on May 02, 2010, 05:47:38 pm Thanks for the replies. In the photos it really only looks like 1 small hole. Its hard to say. I really hope its the real deal. So is everyone kinda saying if when it shows up if it doesnt have the oval holes I just purchased a repo? :oh:

I hope your correct Eric. I do have to agree that most of the repos that I have seen have been the ones with the coke bottle but maybe I have been looking at all kinds of repos if I need to ask this question lol!!there are 4 slot/holes at 12 -3 - 6- 9 for mounting.

Post by: rr82 on May 02, 2010, 07:41:06 pm So now that we are pretty sure about originality, how did I do on the price. $84.00 plus 12 shipping $96.00 total. I think maybe kinda high for a 12 inch but I really wanted one to hang above my 81B. The damage is done, fully paid so you can be as honest as you like lol!! :tounge:
