"Guaranteed authentic" Looks a lot like the Safeway sign on my local
grocery store.

He is a little vague on the details, "probably from the 1930's or 1940's",
but can vouch for its authenticity.  Hmmmm....... I think I would want
better than that.

I use to work at Safeway  years agoand I do remember  that sign..The
background was a weak green. Maybe 60's not the 30's and 40's

Definitely a Safeway sign.  Would it do any good to tell the guy?
Maybe potential bidders might see the question in the lower section if
ebay would print it.

From his listing

    Q:    Safeway grocery store logo. Definitely NOT a Studebaker sign. Hope
the info helps. Jeff
    Aug-02-06
    A:    It does, thank you
   
    Q:    I'm not sure how you plan to authenticate this sign. It's not a
Studebaker sign. It's from a Safeway supermarket. The age is 1960s.
    Aug-02-06
    A:    I don't think I will, I'm starting to figure that out. Thanks for
the comment.
   
    Q:    What documentation do you have to prove that this is a studebaker
sign? Please advise. Thank you
    Aug-02-06
    A:    Nothin, Thanks
   
    Q:    Looks like the sign on my Safeway food store, never seen a
Studebaker sign like that.
    Aug-02-06
    A:    Got it, Thank you
   
    Q:    Are you sure? This looks like a Safeway (grocery store) sign. They
still use this sign today.
    Aug-02-06
    A:    Oh that's funny. If it is, I got took! Can someone let me know for
sure, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
