This may be rare and authentic, but this uses true Helvetica, making it a post-1986 sign. In which case this sign is wildly overpriced.
The really interesting ones were made before the celebrated font was available outside Europe (you can tell the difference by looking at the "e" or the "s". Incidentally, the signs reading "Subway" on those bandstand-type entrances in Union Square use the older typeface.
