Phillips 66 porcelain enamel sign Pilot on Duty Gas & Oil + Aviation

I picked Phillips 66 Gas porcelain sign cheap, it was next to known reproductions.

I think this one is the real thing (early production) because it is covered all the way around. The repros usually have blank backsides.

Someone else shares my opinion: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-phillips-66-aviation-products-472733668

What's the value here? I'm thinking $75 at least. Thanks for the help!

 

It's in remarkable condition if its as old as it purports to be.

Size is 14 x 10 inches on the dot. Thickness is 1/64th inch.
Weight is 1 pound 15 ounces.

 

Whoops! No, thicker about 3/16th inch

 

2/32nds or a 1/16th. English system!

 

You will have to prove that - The better condition the not original I find........ Who knows? Best of luck!!!

So, it's Ande Rooney reproduction afterall? I thought it was because the back was covered in white, unlike his others. Now I notice the adhesive residue where the sticker once was. No gain/no loss either, just information to make better decisions.

Thanks for the lesson!
