Default Re: What would identify a Brookville 1931 Roadster Body

In the petroliana hobby, reproduction or 'new' mfg. gas pump globes are supposed to be marked at the bottom of the globe face or lens by law, either dated or marked 'licensed product' or 'reproduction'.

A number of the more rare globes are flooding into the country today, newly made, from China and they have even fooled the experts on occasion, the novice quite often. They are doing the same with all sorts of rare American coins and especially the Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. You gots -ta be super super careful they are getting harder to spot, and the fakes get better every year. Gold coins? Forget it lots of fakes out there.

Maybe they need to badge the Brookville Roadster in a similar fashion somehow as people are going to be fooled.
