A policeman telling us to wait for a hostess? That's odd. If it's original somebody painted over the school zone sign I guess. I wonder what the other side looks like.

If it is old and you can get the paint off that is a deal.

What a nifty idea.  It was probably decaled over to sit in the entrance to a restaurant.  If I ever open up my my1950s malt shop, I would think of taking my "repop" crossing guard and do the same thing. Very creative. My original crossing guard will be left alone to alert anyone to "watch" before crossing"

That is a very nice original base. Not the regular Mexican repop crap that seems to be the norm.

It reads like the seller isn't selling the one pictured. He says his doesn't have the "extra two holes".

Good eye Halehouse  ...emailed the seller for a pic of the one he's actually selling,  he's less the 20 miles from me.

I have one of these with the center pole and I believe the bracket for the sign.  I am in Michigan and looking to sell.  Sorry I don't have a picture on me but if interested, shoot me a note.  I will try to post picture tomorrow.

We found a coke cop like that once in a restaurant in Toronto. It said "Please don't drink and drive - call a cab" With a little elbow grease and mild paint thinner I was able to remove the added lettering. The restaurant was closing, went there originally to buy a gas pump, and ended up filling up my entire trailer with signs we purchased from the owner.

Kilroy-I am up in Midland.  I forgot to take a picture but will try to remember tonight.  Seems to be all original.

I have the police man and base but I just have the front. If any one sees one no matter how crappy I just need a back. I guess some body wanted to screw him to the wall and threw away the back.
