Title: Latest project...
Post by: cormy on February 20, 2016, 07:29:22 pm
I had this 12" button for years stored away, forgot about it. Then I saw a post on another site that was selling NOS arrows for 16" buttons.

I really wasn't aware that they came like this so I remembered my stored away sign and was able to get a NOS arrow off Ebay for the 12"

After making a bracket from an aluminum strip........and here we have it.

Not totally original but close enough for me! :laugh:

That looks great.
 Are the arrows really originals?
I'll bet we see a bunch of minty arrow buttons on the market now.

Well, yes there are repro arrows out there, but they look different. Actually the whole sign is reproduced I have found doing some research.

Looks great!
I inquired about them having the original mounting bracket, but he didn't have the bracket...
