Re: (erielack) Erie Lackawanna 'No Trespassing' sign (2)
Thanks Scott,
We believed it might have been painted on via a stencil, as we couldn't
detect any kind of any 'applied' stick-on type letter or decal. (not sure
sign decals like this were prevalent back in the late'60's/early '70's, but
we don't know for sure...)
Thanks for your thoughts on this...
