While most Independent signs were made by the same manufacturers as the Bell System signs and were available in the same sizes and similar styles, there is a wide variety that did not.

Thanks for posting these signs. I had logged in to post the Puget Sound sign. That's a super rare sign. I've never seen another. Looks to have been found in the ground (dump or privy  find). And the FT Wayne sign is another one never seen.

Yes it is an interesting sign.  Not $500 interesting in that condition though.  That Ft. Worth sign is unlike any other I have ever seen.
