Looks fake. Note how the letters in "Official American League Ball" look pixelated like they were printed from a low resolution computer file (which it probably was). No reason a hundred year old sign would look like that.

Its a fake. That sign was never made in porcelain only painted tin. The one from Nate Sanders is mine.

Vintage exposed metal with no to little rust should be a glaring clue.

The rust/sign could have been cleaned up but with that being said, the paint chips/exposed metal looks too patterned to me like they were deliberately done.
