IMO:
I would lean towards recent manufacture for the following reasons:
1. The seller makes absolutely no claims as to age or
authenticity.
2. The marks on the back are shallow and appear to be
made from purposeful, glancing blows. They also cover the entire back of the sign and do not appear to be random.
I was told years ago that there is a gentleman at the Harley museum who is an authority on Harley signs and other early Harley advertising memorabilia. I would do a little more research before throwing down that kind of cash on this piece. Good luck and please keep us posted. I am interested in what you discover. Dave
