Here is good source for Ford sign info. Not sure if this guy is still around, he did come to Hershey. I have not been by his booth in a few years. Dan

Accurate or not, if the actual sign is as bad as the photo I wouldn't spend $19.95 on it, let alone £19.95. :)

Interesting information about Ford sign and logo evolution.
The most interesting is the 1907 ‘FOOTBALL ‘ sign that Ford used. That’s a new one for me.
It may not have been meant to be that way but maybe it looks a RUGBY ball. It may not have been meant to be that way at all.
