Red Crown real or fake? - Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk

I already have a 42" Red Crown SSP but this one is for sale now. Better gloss than mine. But some things look strange or suspect. The letter E doesn't curve with the sign like mine and the others I've seen. The lines in the hat are not broken in the bottom center like mine and others I've seen. The scratches in the chipped area are just weird. Opinions?

Sure!

IMO- if I seen those 2 signs side by side & had my pick of one
I'd be leaning on taking the one you already have .. ...

Seems like a low price to me but I probably paid too much for mine.
