Yellow Stop Sign

Description

At one time stop signs were yellow like other traffic control signs instead of red the way they are now. When I was growing up there was a yellow stop sign at the end of the street. It wasn't quite as fancy as this one but it was a childhood memory. It was made of steel and when I visited the area years later it had turned into a lump of rust. This very nice old stop sign with cat eye reflectors has somehow survived the elements. I found it nailed to a tree on an easement while doing trail assessments after tropical storms Irene and Lee and had to get a photo despite the less than ideal light.

Yuppers!! Traffic Stop Signs were once yellow and they were actually pocelean on steel :giggle: Actually according to American Pickers, these yellow stop signs are worth money :icondragonnod1: This sign looks like it was originally paint and not porcelean, so it could be a later one say back in the 1940's or so. I believe the real yellow traffic stop signs were pre 1920's. I always loved those reflectors!! They are always so cool!! :icondragonnod1:
