not sure how old this is really...not even sure when this was purchased. This was in a old pennzoil gas company. Seems like its a metal sign with a porcelain overlay. How do you even know if its a repo or original?

looks like a repo not 100%
The back tells you a lot. More thank likely it should have a white smooth back (perhaps maybe black). Also, look at the grommets, original porcelain signs usually have a star burst grommets. Another easy way to determine if it's real is do an internet search for the sign (with the dimensions).
It's a repo- produced for Pennzoil in the late 90's (I believe)
