So I am curious... Perhaps someone can weigh in here... I have purchased over the years two Apple Dealer signs.. I bought the second one mostly because the first one has a very tiny chip in the top right corner...

So when you look at them very closely.. The one with the chip the lettering in Macintosh and the "TM" are very crisp... as well as the Apple logo.. The other one there is no green in the apple's stem... Also the second one the Apple and "TM" are not as crisp... Perhaps this was done in manufacturing... I honestly don't think it's a fake.. The base is the same as the original...

Any input is greatly appreciated... Very odd.... Perhaps others can look at their signs and let me know if they have any of the same flaws??
