[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2499040, member: 84"]I found this at a local pawn shop - when he told me $50 I grabbed it - I haven't seen one since I was a teenager in the 70's + when I googled it the only ones I found had already been sold; there were none for sale! It measures 25" x 38", is made of metal & it is heavy. My only question is does anyone know when these came out? (as I said I know they were around in the 70's but not how long before that did they come out & how long after till they stopped using them? Thank you for any info. PS - The 2nd sign is brighter - so it must have hung on a wall with 2nd side against wall protecting colors instead of swinging outside with both sides exposed; should I leave as is or is there a way to brighten duller side without hurting it?
