Seriously? Its listed in the "Collectibles >Advertising>Merchandise & Memorabili>Signs> Original>1930-69" There are lots of people that could be deceived by this listing. Including myself. Its listed by someone thats fishing for a sucker, by omitting facts. People get excited and think they have a real "find". Then they find out all too late the truth. Just by reading these threads I learn lots of stuff. Thanks for bringing this to our atention,DD.

If you keep getting off topic and insist on being confrontational, this topic will have to be locked. Last edited by Watchdog9; Sat Jul 06 2013 11:50 AM.

I don't sell Roseville or Hull and I have never owned a oil carrier with bottles so consequently have not sold one. Your accusations are all false. Members here are not stupid and can see right through you and Westerfield. Originally Posted By: Texacopumpdog Oh and by the way .I have been around a long long time in the collectibles business .DD I have a question for you from around 6 or 7 years ago .Do the words "Fake Roseville and Fake Hull" mean anything to you .Also one of the members who posts on here sold a fake Oil Carrier with Bottles at one of the shows last year for around $1000.00 .I saw it when you took it out of your trailer .You knew it was fake ,because you knew the person who made it .On thge real ones the carrier lifts out of the stand ,but on the fake one you sold it looked like the carrier and the stand was one piece .Also the bottle tops were supposed to be red rubber ,and yours were metal
