Ran across this great vintage Indian Motorcycles sign. It is one-sided and a fairly heavy metal. Measures approx. 20" wide x 13 1/2" tall. Am looking for information and approx. value of the sign. Thanks!

I really like this but it almost screams reproduction ! I can be wrong but it seems 'to-good-to-be-true'
Reproductions usually dont have colors bleading around the back edges, I repeat "usually" I'm no expert.
reproduction
real one dont have brass holes,...but beware some drill them out,....real one had smaller holes
I bow to the expert, thanks cycles-past..
the holes look shiny like drilled out, brass? where? I see screw marks.
I've seen several of these around Ebay and the internet. I have to believe these are repp's. Ande Rooney (company) has started "aging" their signs to make them look like the originals. I think Ebay needs to remove them from collectibles.
I have 2 signs, 1 with those exact dimensions on a greenish tin. The other is 17 x 11 1/2 that has a roll-over to the back on a teal color tin with raised letters and head-dress. Both are in excellent condition and I know for a fact that one is original. I just don't know which one! I was given to my dad for his 50th birthday by the son of an Indian dealer and was taken off the shop wall.
Does anyone have an idea what one is the original?
My dad does not remember and I don't see Axle's son often.
