    Description

    YOU ARE LOOKING AT:
    ONLY the
    VERNOR'S,
    REAL
    , Original,
    Painted Steel
    Flange Sign.
    This
    is NOT
    one of those "vintage Porcelain" flange signs
    , as naive people or crooks claim
    , selling profusely on eBay, which are
    FANTASY
    or
    REPRO
    NEW PORCELAIN
    enamel signs coming from INDIA. Shown in the first Four photos ONLY.
    PLEASE DO NOT BUY THOSE FAKE, OVERPRICED NEWER SIGNS for TOO much money!!
    This original one has the original Form Number printed on the flange from the manufacturer, for James Vernor. The NEW FAKES do NOT have the Form No.!
    Even though the new makers in India have the size approximately correct with this old one, the graphics, especially of the colors on the Gnomes face are TERRIBLY POOR.
    One seller even took more than one of the NEW porcelains, and beat them all up, and even faded or de-glossed it to try to make it appear much older and flatter paint finish than the just 1-2 years the PORCELAIN fakes have been being made.
    He even claims to have owned these signs in his collection for many years
    , which is impossible, since they have only been made for a couple years. The fakes are selling anywhere from 99 cents (plus 199. shipping), to over 0. Many are selling for 249.99 or 299.99, whatever they can get for these cheaply made signs in India. There are some comments, that one seller in India has refused to ship the sign, without a higher shipping fee than
    originally
    listed.
    Some say they came from a long-time old collector, yet
    all signs that seller sells
    are mostly all NEW FAKES!
    Those fakes will NEVER be worth anywhere near what they are selling for! Real ones like mine, should be worth ,000. or more, depending on condition.
    Those FAKE porcelains are not worth the mone
    y
    , no matter how cheap they are, as they will probably never increase in value!
    I will not accept "fake bids" from people trying to be funny!
    So, even though I took several years to find one as nice as I did, I will sell it here, if you want to overpay for it.
    Mainly my purpose is to alert so many naive people to all the fake, fantasy, repro porcelain signs being made in India, and shipped over here, selling for way too much money. Other examples, are the 12" diameter, round porcelain signs, chipped to look like they are old, even putting fake dates on them. Or, putting scantily clothed females on gasoline or other porcelain or tin NEW signs, supposedly to make them appear to be from the 1930's to 1950's pin up era.
    BUYER BEWARE!! Check seller's other listings, and their feedback! I have 100% positive feedback, as well as I ONLY sell REAL, LEGITIMATE items!
