Here's a few of the signs a friend of mine gave me today. He worked for the state of california in parks/rec and resource protection for many years. Here's some of the unusual signs he gave me. the second one has a tag on the back saying that it was made by the Sign-making division of Folsom State Prison. That's a rea beauty which i'd never seen before. I have quite a collection of old signs now - many more that i haven't shown on this site yet. Some of them are old and some are new, but the newer ones are all interesting too.
