Don't remember. I'd love to have one in excellent condition. Greg, I sent you a message about a NET&T Vail medal.

Here's one I was watching.  Extremely rare sign but it was just a little to crappy at that price, even for me.  It is from New Hampshire's Coos Telephone Co., a subsidiary of N.E.T.&T. at the time this sign was made.

Really crappy N.E.T.&T. sign.  Worse than mine, even!

Its lost its "sign-ness" - no shape! I wonder how it got that way? Time and erosion probably played a huge factor.

A lot of signs were thrown out when replaced and end up in a dump. What we see here is probably the results of many many years buried. Maybe found by one of those who track down old dumps and dig.

If you have a nice sign, that is a beauty.  It's out of the running and yours is in the chips.
