What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?

I noticed that the bottom is a different style than mine, as mine has kind of a flange shape off the bottom edge. Were there two different styles?

I was told that mine was more than likely modified by the city that owned it because the flange/flare was broken at some point. It looks to me like an original bottom with the flare cut off.

That signal came out awesome! :drool:

The best part of restoring for me is definitely the moment where you attach that last part, stand back and just admire the beauty of a new looking signal.

The worst part is knowing that I have at least ten more signals behind it that still need restored! :Phil: :dizzy:
