Is this original or reproduction?

[jdodds]

We are selling some vintage signs we found in the loft of a barn. I have a Pepsi-Cola sign that is porcelain but I am not sure how to tell if it is original or a reproduction. It is in excellent condition...but I don't want to sell it as original if indeed it is fake. How do I tell? Can I post a picture? (Am new to this site)

Pictures are uploaded now. I was on my phone originally and it wouldn't let me add photos.

Well by your story it would seem to be original and not really knowing anything about the barn's age it's a hard call ... But it seems unreal because it must have been stored perfectly in a very dry place . It doesn't show age and seeing that it was stored in a barn loft and barns are not air tight or moisture proof . And it should even if it was stored for as many years as it seems . It show more age patina on the front and back and that's just because of it's age even if it was stored correctly . Most people don't store things right ...
And there aren't many reproductions made with porcelain so the odd's are in your favor it real and original . Repo's are generally silk screened ... If it's real it's worth some big bucks ... nice find ! IMHO , Woodstock
