Randy... no need to provide more sources, i dont think anyone is doubting that color scheme.

what i would rather see is some info someone may have on these allegedly fake ones with the lacking color and different holes. obviously been around for a while, since one sold in 2008

Even the experts can't agree. This is why many people are staying away from porcelain. What happens in 10 years ?

This is a good example of the great sadness in the hobby. The way the hobby has just been polluted with fakes. Unfortunately I see no solution to the problem. I mean, think about it, what possible solution could there be?

At least the white back is somewhat of a give away. Tough, tough, tough.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I know the signs are real based on owning both examples I had in my extensive collection going back 20 years ago, long before all this ***** out of India came about. Your comments have given me three offers to sell the Night Lubrication sign which I had intended to do at some time anyway. See you all at Iowa

So this topic was just a front from the get go to sell the sign in a different section without having to list a price?

WOW, So we still do not know what is going on with the signs? How does one learn then when there are so many answers?
