Original 20" Wurlitzer Sign

Post by Curt A »

Over the years I have seen many Ande Rooney porcelain Wurlitzer signs. Has anyone ever seen an original 20" convex porcelain sign? This was available last week on eBay for a Buy-It-Now price of $299...

Yes, good catch! That is quite a rare sign. Many jukebox collectors (myself included) would pay dearly for that sign. It seems like a fair price to me. Cheers, Russie

I am not convinced that it is old the seller sells a lot of questionable looking rare signs all 20" concave said to be vintage. Steve

Original or not, the price was reasonable for a great looking sign. If it is a repro, who made it and where would it have been made?
