I'm thinking if it were authentic the bids would be more than 36 bucks by now. I've almost quit collecting toppers because of the number and variety of fakes now being sold.
Collecting the Mississippi companies: Billups, Southland, Rose Oil,Crystal Oil, Barq's
Theres a bunch of different ,same sized toppers with the same size and mounting tab like this recently,all with "cool" subject matter. Sinclair,Union,Globe, Dodge-Plymouth, Reddy Kilowat, RCA-RCA W/Nipper ect. Ect.ECT. I think every one of them are bogus -same with the ones with the oval and the rectangular privileged panel below. I've noticed a couple of the Pepsi ones bring 4-5 hundred. Its really a crime.
