JST wooden sign ?

[Robert H]

I would like to ask your opinion on this wooden sign.
Not sure if original or not, and I assume no one can say for sure.
Also the skull sign wonders me, but maybe some references are in existance.

looks just like this!

Is this too similar to be good?

same aspects almost exactly on sign but with very different signage.

If I had to choose which one looked more real, I would pick the grave marker.

hmmmm.

getting first stage of suspiciousness, but can only speculate as this is not my area.

[Ian Hulley]

Both are far too suspect for me

Ian

[CWP]

Both are fake.

[Robert H]

my Instinct told so too

Interestingly (at least to me!), the typeface on Robert's sign is the same as that used on the multitude of reproduction rubber stampers from eastern Europe--not a typeface I've seen used on period items.

I am really wary of these. Most the real ones were used for fire wood like everything else that could burn. There is a market for antique/vintage advertising signs as well in the US from sign collectors and weathering and faking age on wood has reached a new art level. I would only believe one of these was real if it was bring back or I found it in a barn etc.
