The company isn't some mom-and-pop shop on South Street. This is a legit multimillion dollar company. They won't just go ahead and make a few knock-off signs for you and your buddies...

If I am to believe what I was told by Pannier, SEPTA told them not to make reproductions, otherwise this company would be happy to serve an individual's interests. Regardless, my main interest is learning the history of how these signs changed over the years.

You might get a better answer!Got it - sometimes I don't get the tone inflected over the web. If anything, I should probably be grateful this company was kind enough to entertain my questions. If my past experience with SEPTA has any bearing, they will either not respond, or send a general response that doesn't apply exactly to what I ask. I'll give it a shot anyway!

Who has a list of every legit sign ever made?

A variation key at the bottom right is a rough translaton of the most noticeable differences between prints.

The only additions (possible ones) I can think of are the SPECIAL sign in all caps and the R3 West Chester where the name is all on one line - but these are really just variations of what you have. Bravo on the detail and extent of completion.
