I was going to list this for sale... but wanted to double check with you guys first. I think it's fine, but I've been fooled before. It's 6" x 27 1/2" . Thanks, Tom

Al joking aside is it tin ,metal, porcelain? Lines on the back look like porcelain firing marks. As long as your not advertising as one certain company,like Frank I wouldn't run from it. You can tell where the rivets were drilled out looks OK.

It's porcelain on heavy metal with real heavy shelving. Years ago I bought a porcelain pepsi sign from a nice old guy that believed with all his heart it was real. Turned out it wasn't. Ever since then, I've been skeptical about any porcelain sign that comes in a reasonably easy to ship size. I'm not worried about getting stuck with one... but I never want to be the guy that sold somebody one.

Yes small ones seem to be all the rave to reproduce. If it is not real it not the only one out there,they should start turning up. Wish I could be more help.

Thanks. I'm comfortable with it at this point. Not like it's big bucks anyway... just wanted to be sure. I've also been staying away from pump plates until I get more educated.
