Title: pepsi sign - real or fake??? Post by: randy on March 09, 2014, 02:55:53 pm Can anyone tell if the pepsi sign is real or fake. It's green on the back side and seems to be heavier than a reproduction sign. Thanks

You know these are OK as long as no one is trying to pass them off as the orginal Pepsi sign. The colors on this one would be wrong for the time Logo time Period. I have bought a few of the heavier gauge metal ones and they are great display items.
