This is a 16 inch button sign I found at a local market. One of my favorite pieces. I added the arrow a month or so after I got the sign. It looks great hanging in the coke room.

Not sure if its the hardest to find size, but most desirable the 16" buttons dont take up too much room in a collection. Theres also a few vertical signs out there that have this size button on the top part of sign. You will see the odd one missing the button, theres one on ebay right now, item number 170793914272
I just moved so I am unpacking my collection that has been put away for a while. Thanks for your comment. I am always looking to learn and I welcome any and all info I can get. More pictures to follow.
There is someone on ebay claiming to have the arrow that goes wuth the button signs. Sound legit? Its item number 310386142872.
Looks right. Described as a repainted (restored) arrow. Discusses provenance. Doesn't mention whether it comes with the bracket for attachment, I'd check on that if I were bidding. Seller has over 5000 transactions with 100% positive feedback, so I wouldn't worry that it's a fake.
I asked about the bracket. It can be purchased separate. To complete my button sign, I will have to go after it.
I ordered the arrow and bracket today. Looking forward to getting it :)
Congrats O.C., the thrill of the hunt is a good bit of the overall satisfaction. Be sure to post the completed piece. Looking forward to seeing it.
I received the arrow in the mail yesterday. I couldn't wait to put it all together. I am very happy with it!!!
Very nice looks great with that arrow, sweet find!
Yep! That looks great!
