Oooops - I was reacting to the CH post mounted nomination.
OK -- my local favorite -- which was even Mark's for a brief time too

The signal that even birds love --
The Milwaukee Solid Body - Singledoor (not GE Novolux)

I still love it, it's in a class of it's own, :yes: but not as fancy as an OE or Novalux.

My favorites are Alusig and TSI. The Type M 12" body seems cool, but it's incredibly bulky-looking.

On the opposite end, I really don't care for Marbelite 12" backs. LFE (not poly) gets my vote in that area.

Best looking signals for me have to be the 12" Econolite button backs (old style) and the 12" deMco signals.

If you're talking about single face signals..... the backside of the Ornamental Eagles are the best looking. :drool:
