I have a few PCC interurban signs that I will dig out and then list
the designations.
Meanwhile...
I have a side sign is in a light green side sign box from a 3800 type
car.
All pieces look to be original factory printing and stitching except
one, which is noted.
"3812" is penciled at the top of the sign.
Questions:
Is this a legit Rys sign configuration?
Could it have been altered by its previous owner?
Why would a 3800 car have double ended route destinations?
Why is there the "ARNOLD" destination on the roll?
