Found this sign in a little shop today...

2 questions...

#1-how do I know it's real or not?
Its painted...not embossed, stamped, or decals, I can see swirls on both sides and its HEAVY. There are no manufacturer trade marks. HOWEVER...Its a little suspect because it's in 100% perfect condition.

#2-If it is real...what's it worth?

that's what I thought....gut instinct is usually best. I found some smaller ones online that are identical, but the people say up front that they're repops. thanks!

I hate to say it but none of us will ever just "stumble" across Polly stuff. Maybe a matchbooklet if lucky. It's just an oldgasser wet-dream. That sign thing is definetly fake. Very little Polly ephemera, cans and signs that remain. Of what's left, most items are resting easy in collectors hands by now.

All you really need to acquire Veteran Status on OG is a bad case of Diarrhea of the Keyboard.
