Was the LV the only road to use steel W signs consising of a disc with the W cut out, riveted to a post (presumably an old boiler flue tube with the end pressed flat)?
Anyone looked at one up close, do they look like they were cut by torch and cleaned up a bit?
I passed one up the other day for $75 but for $50 I might have sprung for it just to have one. That, or an original mile marker might be nice, but because the posts were tubes it was way easy for people to steal them back in the late 70s - you just bent the now rotty post over, then up and down until it snapped off. So they're not going to turn up left behind on the ROW to throw a $20 at the landowner to buy.
