Tom.... You are absolutely correct. I guess I don't explain myself very well. Independents such as Rochester, Penn tel corp, Upstate NY, Ohio Assoc, etc used a VERSION of the 08 logo but of course could not include Bell System. I still consider them a  08 logo for identification purposes  but not an OFFICAL BELL SYSTEM ONE  as you rightly noted.

For categorization purposes I'll be sticking this with the '08s

A scarce '21 Bell sign. Northwestern Bell 11x11 are hard to find. I wonder what happened to this sign. The undamaged part doesn't look too bad.

My guess is target practice + exposure to the elements.

Considering the size of that big hole, I'd say they used a shot gun!

It would make a nice "Und Ound Tel One Not Rb" sign!

In all fairness, most cars in Rochester look like that too after a dozen or so winters and very liberal use of salt for the roads.
