Some new goodies

I had seen old photos of signs like this here on AARoads, but not in the flesh...so i couldnt pass these up...

this one was all beaten up, but still displayable

One of what can be called the TV Screen Vermonts from the 1960s-70s (pre-circle)

A lovely example of 'A' fonts

And finally, two signs i had some 20 years ago, and was forced to sell off...well, they came back home!

16x16 embossed steel, beaded glass

15x15 embossed...and a golly-gee lame-o restoration i did back in 1991.....(yes, it was the original number underneath...)

neato!  glad you picked up that 169.  It is a Kansas.

I need to get on that Tennessee triplet I keep threatening you with ...

This is probably a 9, as there doesn't seem to have been a VT 6.

I think it is labeled "9" on the back, if that is the one which ScottB had.

May I ask how much the CT wooden signs went for? Never seen anything like them except the Tennessee signs from the 20s, and those weren't wooden.
