Like the old yellow STOP sign--unusual font--what state was this sign located in?

Mike, That is a great collection. Lots of diversity which gives it a lot of character. Are you going to acquire any more signs? Like the Freeway/Interstate sign photos too.

Nice collection there Mike. 
IIRC, that particular STOP sign came from Georgia. I'll look to see if I have any more details on it.
But that font (the squared lettering) was widely used on early STOPs. What makes this particular sign somewhat unique IMHO is that it doesn't have the horizontal separators that are normally included with signs of that vintage (like this one)

Steve, yes I plan to get more signs if I see something that catches my eye.
Thanks Ed for the info on that stop sign

Nice signs Michael Robert. I dig the yellow STOP sign.
What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?

Thanks MB!
If he was at Fall Signalpalooza, he would have seen the yellow STOP sign first hand   |
