westcoast_dave Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Never seen them before except at that auction.....i wouldn't doubt that they're authentic, the auction was very close to the old site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaboo Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 hi Hansel, We had asked smitty on makers marks etc, but didn't get an answer before we left to Vegas. We did print out pictures and showed them around. No one including Brian Estepp, Lee Linne or Jack Labbee(big time advert. collector) had ever seen or heard of them either. General consensus was they were suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Marie Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well, I think they are pretty cool, and wouldn't mind having one myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General consensus was they were suspect. I too thought they looked suspiciously new, but Smitty says his auction pics were better than the real things, which have folds, tears, water and tape stains. I was just wondering if anyone had ever seen similar signs. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I can see some stains when I look closely. Has anyone ever seen anything like them in flyer form or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
