The flanged version of this sign is common, the flat one is harder to find. I prefer flat signs-they are easier to display than the flanged versions. This one has a few issues but the price was right.

Sign arrived today. Looks as though a lot of the damage is actually dirt.
Cleaned up nicely. The "dirt" was most likely some sort of bird dropping. I soaked it in warm water with dish-washing soap and scrubbed it with a 3-M pad. I spot cleaned the stains with baking soda and water. The surface of the sign where the dirt is is degraded. The shine is off the porcelain and it is pitted/rough. Ammonia will damage a sign, and bird droppings contain ammonia.
Details of the damage:

It looks great now Greg.
Soft scrub works good also.
