So, American Art Works is the only company that made Shell flanged signs, American Art Works always marked their signs, and Treasureray sells many reproductions signs - therefore the Shell Kerosene signs must be reproductions. OK?! I would then say - if there is any uncertainty in your mind simply don't buy it. If you like the sign, and you don't care if it is a repop or not, and the price is right, - then by all means go ahead and buy it.

I really don't know and I'm not totally convinced for sure if they are real or not. I have one, looks real to me, I don't care if it turns out to be a repop, bought it at a great price, I like it, and until a definitive authority concludes without a doubt they are reproductions I can only conclude they are real.

Maybe it is time the hobby has a certification service just like the coin hobby. Then the gas collectibles could be authenticated,condition graded,and be marked in some type of nondetrimental way to identify the collectible as being certified.
