I am going to an petroliana auction on Saturday and there is a fire chief plate. How can I ensure it is a real one. Beside the obvious. I figured out the sky chief and got a real one but the fire chief ones deceiving. it there certain date to shy away from. I would not buy one with the date conveniently rusted away. Is there any markings or font mistakes? I searched on here and studied pictures of known reproductions but need more expert help on this. Thanks, still learning some basics too costly to buy fakes. Here is a pix of it.
