WOW!!  Here's an extremely rare, porcelain sign that says:  "Authorized Evinrude Sales and Service";  "The Greatest Evinrude Ever Built";  "Speedy-Reliable-Powerful-Dependable."  This is a real beauty.  We have not been able to locate another like it over the past 5 months since we purchased it from an estate in northern Michigan.  It is in very nice, original condition with no touch-ups or repair.  There are small chips on corners and a few on edges as pictured; with the largest on the top left corner (3/4" diameter from left corner), with scratch through "s" in "sales" going down to 1/4" chip to bottom edge. 

The porcelain has a beautiful shine to it, and is not discolored or scratched.  The 2 brothers who had the estate sale of their dad's things, both of them in their 70's, said it had been on an inside wall of their dad's garage, "as long as we can remember."  We did not wash the reverse as it shows the age.  We guarantee that this is an original 1920's or 1930's sign; with the two guys in the old wood boat with the old Evinrude Outboard Motor on the stern.  The outboard motor guys probably know the model and year of the outboard.  Don't miss this one!  It's a beauty!!

Bid early on this sign.  We do not do "Buy It Now."  Shipping will be actual cost by FED EX in U.S. only.  We pack very well.  See our feedback.  Michigan buyers will pay Mich. 6% sales tax.  PayPal only.  Thanks for bidding!  Good Luck!

Questions and answers about this item
  
 Q: how pronounced is the shelving on the sign (shelving is the height difference between colors of the image & wording)? is there a mfg. mark on sign?---thanks
A: Please refer to the other question regarding the shelving, which is very pronounced across the sign. There are no mfg. marks on front or back. Thanks for your question.

 Q: Is the porcelain smooth or can you feel the letters etc.
A: The porcelain is NOT smooth. Each letter and color has a raised relief type feel. As an example in the tree line; the green is raised up from the blue and the black is raised up from the green.
