[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 10299988, member: 84"]I found this at a thrift store today. Googling Ebbets field, it said it was a major league baseball park before it was torn down & the Dodgers built a new one (in 60's I think, but i don't remember exactly, sorry. What is this? A street sign? A train sign? A modern commemorative piece? It must have some age - the screws holding the lens are older slot machine screws. PS - when I picked it up to bring inside I felt a wire - pulling it out it looks like a old lamp electrical cord without the plug. Was this to connect it to another sign attached on top of it (they gi up to 3 high like a traffic light) or to plug in a wall & use for decoration? But if for decoration, why doesnt it come out of the bottom , less obvious?[ATTACH=full]517006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517008[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517010[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517012[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]517014[/ATTACH] Any info would be greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]
