Is this real? It is in awfully good shape it seems. Sure looks real but would an original ever have the red bleeding around the edges like that? Maybe the blue is just chipped away. Hard to say.
How about the price?
Thanks.

I would have to say that the red youre referring to is overpaint from the pump

based on what the back looks like, I would say it is/was a part of the procelain process.

That red is from a pump repaint! So it should clean off? Do you think it is real? It's in awefully good shape?

I agree,pump repaint...I bet it would come off with a little bit of mild stripper.
Looking for Keystone,Pure,Sinclair,Texaco,Sterling and Gulf...Thanks, Brian

Original.....Paint stripper or laquer thinner will usually work. Price is high, but looks to be in perefct condition when paint in removed. If so, $200-$250 is more realistic.
