For your consideration is this original porcelain Hood Tires Dealer Advertising Sign. Overall, this is in very nice condition with obvious chips, primarily to the edges/corners. The field is quite clean and the colors are very vivid. This measures 18" x 8" and is single sided. I tried to capture the originality and the condition in the photo's, happy to email additional pictures if needed. Please ask any questions. Asking $1,250. Shipping should be quite reasonable.

It appears it says MADE IN USA on the bottom LH corner of the sign?

sooo... not sure what you are implying. the sign is a repop, regardless where it was made

and just for future reference... this sign is $32.95 new. it was originally dated properly as a repop in the lower right corner, until some schmuck somewhere in the supply chain decided to take a hammer & screwdriver and chip the marking away

It looks to me like it says MADE IN INDIA in the lower left corner but could be eyes.

Was not implying anything other than the fact it says made in the USA. Just curious how you knew it was a reproduction so I could learn something new today...

For one its a little too coincidental where the damage is along the bottom...just happens to be missing the important markings plus the size is a give away.

unless I am mistaken, this a fantasy sign, no such thing as a real mccoy in this size/style. so its not a matter of knowing what to look for on the sign, its a matter of knowing what is real.
Ask yourself... how would a station use a 8"x18" tire advertising sign? if you cant visualize it, then stay away. try to think of the HISTORY of these items... not just that its a porcelain sign and you might be able to make a buck off it.
