Folks, I have meant to ask this question for a while ... Why is that most Pegasus Porcelain signs have " leg injuies" almost in the same areas (lower Front + rear) legs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281974081088http://www.ebay.com/itm/271920749070 How does it happen?Thanks, Hen

...they got dropped, and that's the weakest point of the sign...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Hen, as Mark said..
Also, the earliest versions of the Pegasus that I've owned and/or seen; did not have the re-enforcing gusset/piece that later versions had... So a strong gust of wind could catch the leg as if it were a sail and bend it out. (depending on the strength of the wind)...
Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items

Bob,
I agree with you 100%.
However, during shows, I am busy running around & looking for stuff (of course with my head cut off, LOL!). What are the chances I might get this particular answer (by Mark & Bob) from say a group of 10?
I still think "OG" is the best way to ask & learn about this hobby!
Of course, these are my opinions only!

Hen, I would say your chances of getting the answer from a group of 10 at a show would be excellent. As good as this forum is, only a small percentage of collectors participate here.

Loyd,
You mentioned: Reproduction legs
But, Not for these types of "porcelain signs", right?

Loyd, For the sake of clarity, the "Reproduction" parts (Two legs and a tail) are for the sign known as the " Cookie-Cutter". Am I correct?BTW, found the link on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111903173643Hen
