The sign looks like it might be nice under the sticker, but what do you do?  Remove the sticker?

I'd remove the sticker. I bet it has the later Local and Long Distance wording.

Now I don't feel so bad about paying too much for my beaten up example of this sign:

No sense going to the trouble of compiling a collection of the worst signs ever. Here's your opportunity to have an instant collection of them.

This guy must hold the record for having the most worst signs.

The photo is just two of the many he has on eBay and they are not limited to bad telephone signs.

I asked the seller where he got them. He said he works in Baltimore and that they were in storage that was connected with the old Baltimore Enamel & Novelty Co. No details given. I winder about that story as most of the signs I believe are Ing Rich products.
