Found this great double sided flanged newspaper porcelain sign this past weekend - wow! You dont see too many newspaper porcelain signs. A little rust and dings around the edges but otherwise in nice shape. Any idea when then daily plain dealer was 2c? The 1920s?

Nice find!
I was a paper "boy" for the Cleveland Press in the 70s. Sworn enemies with the Plain Dealer boys. I believe the paper was 15 cents at the time. Hard job, especially in the winter.
