Pepsi sign stirs debateBy Mark Chervenka

Pepsi sign stirs debate

This metal 46" X 17" Pepsi sign is marked Stout Sign Co, St. Louis, MO and dated 1969. John Woods, president of Stout Sign Co., called these pieces "... a blatant fake." Woods based his judgement on a 20 step analysis. The signs in question have four holes die punched along the sides; Woods says Stout signs only have three. The paint on the sign can be chipped with a fingernail. Paint on original Stout signs is virtually permanent. Some buyers say they purchased similar signs as far back as 1989. We suggest you be very careful of this sign.
