There aren't many of these style state route shields left in Maryland. The ones I knew of in Frederick were finally replaced.

that looks to me to be block font! Which makes it even older than those 144s in Frederick.
correction, it is not block font.
here is a Doug photo. I'd totally forgotten that that 49 existed; I even saw it in 2006 in person!

It's been replaced :-(
I only took that picture a year ago too. And the funny thing was that I wasn't looking for the sign either, but rather, I just stumbled upon it as I was trying to find my way around Cumberland.
Damn. I am in fact going right through there on Sunday, so now I won't bother detouring.
Yup, I went through there back in January, and it's gone. But now there's a MD 220 sign goof on the left fork (Greene Street).
here's what the gantry looked like in 1977.
