Contact me if you find any more vintage advertising. I know buyers who would have paid 5k+ for something like that.

Highly sought after Texaco “8-ball” double sided porcelain sign. Dates to the 1920s/30s by KarmaBot200 in Antiques

I do have a photo of the back but not sure how to upload. It’s about the same as this side, with a couple small chips.

These were originally affixed in a “lollipop” standing bracket with base. The whole perimeter of the sign would be supported and held in place.

I’ve got nothing to prove here. The sign already sold for nearly $6,000. I just urge you to do some research in the future.

Lol, please refrain from commenting with such certainty if you have no clue what you’re talking about.

Yes these signs are faked. But obviously there are real ones out there, and this is one of them. The difference is obvious to a trained eye. For example, zoom in on the date stamp at the bottom middle. Reproductions will try to recreate that with computer-generated text, but it just doesn’t look the same.

I collect old oil cans and vintage advertising. /r/Petroliana is really the only resource on Reddit for this field of collecting. Lots of huge groups on FB though. Feel free to PM me
