Thinking about buying a 5’ sign. Does it look original? Value? Thanks Rick

Thank you guys for your opinions. I concurred & purchased it today.
Going to open a discussion for questions & pointers… this is so cool! Week away from 66yrs old & I won’t sleep tonight thinking about it. Rick

It was like Christmas eve in May, haha! Glad you got it. I've always liked the PURE logo myself.

Sorry was in a hurry during reply; I’m talking about the ring/mount. The sign is cleaning up with car wax cleaner & looking like new(minus the couple hits). More I think about it I may not want to remove the ring. Just mask the sign and wheel/paint the ring. That’s what I meant to say. Would that hurt value(whatever that may be), or help value?

that would be your best bet & the easiest, IMO - painting

the ring wouldn't have any effect on value of the sign,

depends what you like patina or the clean look

if it is going out doors I'd keep the patina look .. ... cool
