Could anyone help me out on this sign I cannot tell if it is real or fake. Its size is 11 1/4" is what the owner said.

Thank you in advance.

an itsy bitsy teenie bit of research will give you your answer.

Very Fake.

Well I did some research on the sign through google but what had me puzzled was that it is stamped at the bottom it says Tm under license from mobil oil corporation and most reproduction I have seen have white backs. Is there something else I should be looking for?

Ok thank you. May I ask how you knew so for future reference I know?

Fake X3. All "License by Mobil are repo's, look in the repo catalogs and they are sold in there, Mobil never had a porcelain pump plate like this, and you can see the remains of sticker on the backside.

Fake X4. That gritty dull grey finish on the back is very common on the Ande Rooney reproductions.

Thank you for the information so I know how to tell now.
