Old Baseball Metal Signs

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Hey guys,

I came across these old signs on eBay.

The seller does not know if they are original, but I thought they looked cool as hell. We agreed on a price but I told him before I buy them I wanted some opinions as to their authenticity. I told him I would sleep on it, so here I am.

Are these fantasy pieces? Are these reproductions made to look old?

So he recently sold a Ted Williams Sign ( not sure if it's authentic ), however this is just to give you a backing of a previous sold item of his....

Here are 4 photos before I get to my signs.










He has many other NON sport signs up for sale as well.

here are the 2 I wanted.

The first sign is 28 X 10








The second sign is 48 X 14

They look pretty good to me because the two you are interested in are not of enough interest (I wouldn't think) to fake. That said, I know there area bunch of fake fenway/seals/somebody else signsout there.

That is kind of generic advertising isn't it? I agree they probably won't be valuable enough to fake. That said I think I have seen more random things that are fake than are good. Be careful. I would imagine you could better tell in person. Good luck

Look at the seller's current, sold and completed sales. They have a lot of these types of signs for sale. They also have another of the baseball sign for sale.

Joe you're right. I didn't even notice the other one stuck in the screen door. That's why I asked. Not very versed in signs but they seemed cool and unique. Thanks for the assistance like you always give me. You are the man.

Yea the fakes out there scare me and Joe brought up a great point.
