Been a collector of 'things' for a long time. When I was young, I collected 'interesting' rocks, then sports cards. Currently, I collect coins and photography stuff. Always loved fuel signs, but didn't know how to start. Anyway, was recently looking at signs on ebay and found it peculiar that so many old porcelain signs had a similar orange rust pattern (with an affordable price!). While looking for resources to determine authenticity, I came across this forum. Looks like an amazing community and can't wait to learn from you guys!
