    1910s Harley Davidson Original Dealer Sign

    Hello all,

    I came across quite a nice old sign on ebay. I've seen this repro'd but not as original and thought to share it for its interest factor.
    It seems to be depicting a very early flat track racer.
    I have no connection to the seller, just wanted to share.

    Cheers,
    George

    I've been seeing metal signs like that for quite a few years now. There is no evidence to say it is genuine, or original vintage, or from Harley-Davidson. The seller want $3,900.00 but offers no proof, or documentation to substantiate his claim. I'd give the guy $5.00 for and nail it to the wall in my shop.

      They were marketed in the 90's by an outfit called "Cyclops", George!

      Or at least my Indian signs like that were...

        I have that sign also and some others. I would guess I paid 10 -15 dollars in the 90s new. A $3900 sale would be the day that 2 fools met!

          I'm a fool ready at half that, Jim!

          Really regret breaking one of the Indian Four wall thermometers trying to "calibrate".

          Most I "fauxtina'd" before "fauxtina" was kewl, and gave away. Who knew?
