What are the best places to find old signs (embossed, old street name signs, shield, symbol or text) in CT?


Seymour has quite a few embossed signs up,
Groton and New London has quite a few.  (Although I think the Yellow Yield Sign in Groton is gone I think.      http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ct/ct_184/ )
Hartford has a few original interstate shields up.

Meanwhile, Danbury and New Haven replaced most of their relics.  Especially Danbury, I think every sign has been replaced!
I only take pics of good looking signs. Long live non-reflective button copy!

The only two remaining state outline shields I know of (see avatar) are both in Stamford. We've also got an old (just text, no flower) Merritt Parkway shield.

But there isn't much else of particular interest here unless you consider local city street signs interesting.

If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.
