Can any fellow highway shield geeks tell me when the NJDT label was used on the corner of NJ state route shields? For all I know, it's still being printed on the shields; I'm not sure. I'm just curious to narrow down the date of manufacture of the NJ-28 shield I found in my neighbor's trash several years ago.

It's not still being used. They went to DOT sometime, I believe, in the late 80s. Your shield looks early to mid 80s.
Thanks, Steve. I figured I'd ultimately get the info from you. Appreciate it!
The shield is 24x24, by the way.
