I picked up an advertising sign titled "Live the Rock 'n Roll Life on the Road" with a copyright of FMIC. I have no idea if this is a legitimate sign or a reproduction or a knock-off. I've searched looking for others, sometimes find mention of similar signs but no definitive answers. Someone suggested that this would be the place to get the correct answer. Appreciate any help I can get.

Hopefully I'm in the right place for this subject.

Pics always help.
We like Photobucket here.

Forget photobucket. Imgur is much faster and has a better layout.

I have seen that sign before. Without having it in my hands to know for sure I'd say it's likely it's legit.

Thanks for your reply BMW-KTM. Do you know of anywhere I can look that shows Fender Advertising signs, either on this site or somewhere else?

Thanks

No. Sorry. No web site comes to mind.

Of course, there's always Google....

(Creative wording of Google searches can yield interesting results. StumbleUpon is also interesting but not really searchable.)

It's authentic but it's not old or valuable - worth $23.

Thank you very much for your help and responses.

Well, maybe I'll find that diamond in the rough another time.

Take care. Lynne
