Only 2 real ones of these known guys . One is in Manitoba , one is in Ontario . Funny story , the 2 real ones were found in a small Ontario town pop 500 . They were in a garage full of NOS model A parts and these 2 lubester early early Red Indian signs . the man who bought them paid 50 dollars for the signs and all the NOS model a parts . That's a good day, for that fella.

Note also the real ones are very different from these pieces of ***** . These guys have once again used a picture off the internet to make a sign .

Thanks for the heads up, Dave! Great story indeed. Do the " Original" ones have the later "art work" like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/311486133925Thanks, Hen

No they have a head on them that is early and primitive looking . They are also larger in size than the reproductions .

Dave,
I do not have anything "RED INDIAN". However, I am planning to have a "Rocker Can" had-painted as one. Quart cans are way too small for me.
