NOT SO SURE THERE WAS AN "ORIGINAL!" I KNOW THIS PIECE HAS COME UP AS SUBJECT MATTER PREVIOUSLY. I'M THINKING IT'S A "FANTASY" PIECE MADE BACK IN THE 80'S!

Its an original fantasy piece, not a reproduction fantasy piece.
The price difference between the two is astounding.

I remember being at a flea market in Pennsylvania about 15 years ago. Seemed like every other stand had one of these, I think I could have left there with about 50 of them for 10 dollars each. I guess I should have bought them up, could have made a nice profit reselling them today! They are cool looking, but have that fake, rustic look to them. Being so common now, there should be many visible in old gas station photos, I have never seen one pictured.
Still looking for that Union 76 ball
And I collect big old porcelain neon signs
