Good day to all,


I am hoping someone may have some knowledge on a sign I’ve had for many years. It is very large - over 4’ wide x 2’ tall. Weighs upwards of 250-300 lbs. It has a cast number on lower right of R1787. I can’t imagine this would be related to a year but I’m not very knowledgeable in such things. Has a post mount cap about 5 “ in diameter on the back. Here are pictures. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
