This is a ESSO vintage genuine porcelain sign and it is in excellent condition, with vibrant and rich colors just as it had when originally manufactured. STILL has a nice glossy shine as it is actual porcelain. A true collectible piece that displays beautifully. Minor chips in the outer field, as well as some moderate rusting around the mounting holes, as is to be expected from being displayed outside and hanging in the elements. Really, beautiful layers of porcelain. It is USED and was hanging being displayed outside. Feel free to zoom in and check out all of the photographs for you, they are the best description of the exact sign. MATERIAL: PORCELAIN ON SOLID METAL (real genuine steel, not fake reproduction tin junk, Magnet sticks firmly as verification). We try our best to use great lighting when taking our photos so that you will have a VERY accurate view of the exact item you will receive. We show all angles, front and back. So, please take the time to thoroughly look through all of the photos provided for you. Thanks for shopping with us here at vintage_porcelain_handcrafts.
