Question for Sign enthusiasts - Tue Dec 10 2019 06:35 AM
Hello!
I’ll start off the bat by admitting I am not by any means knowledgeable about oil memorabilia or a collector, though I do have an appreciation for collecting relics from the past!
My dad loves antiques, and is really a big fan of items from the 1920’s-1950’s. He’s also a big fan of all things Disney, so I thought maybe something Disney from the time period he collects would be a great Christmas gift for him.
I found a 1933 Sunoco Mickey Mouse sign on Ebay that I actually won!!
....and then realized how stupid I was for bidding on something like that when I know next to nothing about the subject and how to tell a reproduction from the real deal. I know it may be difficult to tell without a physical inspection of the piece, but I was wondering if any of the waaaaay more knowledgeable than me members of this forum could see any red flags with this piece? Also any information on what it was used for would be nice too, as again, I know nothing haha
Thank you for your time and happy holidays!
