This is a simple case of slight of hand...He is telling people its 9.75 inches which is making everything question and hope its real. I will 95% guarantee this sign in question is NOT that size and in fact is the same size as the one available for 33.95 in another listing shown here http://www.ebay.com/itm/TYDOL-ETHYL-FLYING-A-10-PORCELAIN-GAS-PUMP-SIGN-/150556533094?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230dde6166. Ask for a pic with it on a measuring tape. I see no rust...I see varnish dragged with a sponge and dried to look brown. I am so sick of these low lifes lying about where and how they obtained these repro signs. I sell repro...I call them repro...Anything other ends as what it starts as...A LIE. I mean really...How many people venture into germany and pick through sheds and barns and find piles of chipped signs in ENGLISH writing from before the war??? Common sense would go a LONG way.
