Supertest Oil Company LTD., London, Ontario, Canada, circa 1930s. I say rare because most of the ones you have seen are phony! How do we tell?

Some wear at the bottom, see photo, on border only and a little around the edges. Back side-darker photo-is better overall with edge wear mainly around notches. Light areas are reflections...$2,500.00 SOLD!!
