I have never seen one of these until this one. What a great sign if it was in good condition.

I blame American Pickers for leading people to believe that rust=value

That is way too crispy, but I'm okay with a bit of rust.

Some stuff just needs to be thrown away.   Improves the "gene pool" of available antiques.

Vintage Porcelain Bell System Phone sign

This would make a good companion for the one above

Not an eBay auction but pretty crusty example of a rare sign:

That would be my guess.  Description says 18" double sided.  Maybe a bracket? 

The only similar examples are from Bell of PA and Illinois Bell, I cannot find a reference to a N.E.T. & T. version.  I'll see what the guy wants for it.  If it is $50 or less I'll probably get it.
