The base also said something similar ( traffic ? Inc canton Ohio ). That is what raised my curiosity about the sign. Also as stated the logo does not look 50's.

Kind of a useless sign if you asked me, would be more practical hanging on a wall.

I have the 5 ft. version of this sign.

In the Questions for Seller sections he answered that it was made "In the 50's".Kind of a useless sign if you asked me, would be more practical hanging on a wall. I would guess no earlier than the late 60's, early 70's. |
