CCK, I see were you have this sign any other information on it being a repo. I do see it in the Petretti's book page 212 6 inches X 23 inches 1922. This one is 4 inches X 18 inches.
Thanks

I have the exact same sign in the exact same size. Ray thinks it is real, and I think this one is real too. Ray, will ahve to talk about this one.
where did you get it?
Out of state, Don't have it yet he has the sign and has a couple of 1953's and 1 1976 match books. He sending them to me next week. The guy said he's had it for 15-20 years.
I got mine at an antique mall for 38 bucks.
ray said it has a value of over 300 to 400 dollars
Yes that is what Petretti's has it for in nice shape. The guy says he sure it old because of the other signs he's had it made of the thin tin. $40 shipped for the sign and match books.
CCK my 2 hour searching the internet came up with the 2 on Worthpoint for $16.49 and $15.00, with the measurement of 4 1/2 x 18. There is the other one with the Petretti's measurement of 6 x23 that went for $328.99. I never want to say what year signs are or there worth because I not an expert, I'm ok with what I'm paying because I like the sign and I'm getting a couple of match books out of the deal. I would just say I would love to have the other one in mint condition.
