This full sized two sided porcelain curb-side sign is still in its original 3 1/2" T-bar frame. It measures 70" X 121" & with a little spit-shine, be good as gold, with no porcelain loss, scratchs or fading. It originally sat apon an old school (pre-1959) 10 foot D-30, or "I" pole. After 1959,they went to several other styles in 12' , 14' heights.The two sided monkey was a Firestone sponsored grand opening program for dads Firestone store in 1966. I still have the "give-away" prizes, yellow styrophome bannanas, and plastic monkey faces. Not really sure what that add. message was supposed to mean;?
