I am trading for a group of signs and this is one I am looking at including. I don't know Chevron signs very well and with so many small repop porcelain signs coming out I am always leery. I haven't held it in person yet and am just dealing from poor pictures. I did note it has a white back while my research showed other Chevron signs sometimes had black backs. It appears to have some writing on the front right but the pictures are too poor to read it. I am guessing the sign is about 12".Any insight on the originality would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just an update. I finally was able to look at the sign and confirm it is original. You guys were right that it is Canadian production, bearing the mark "P&M 46". P&M was a very large Canadian maker of porcelain signs in Orillia Ontario. It is a little more damaged than I had hoped, but I picked it up anyway. Thanks to all for the input.
