it was asked on bigcheese site so I'll respond here as well.

There was a oil based liquid(not shellac) product put on this sign which darkened it up some. Its called Antique Restorer-its mostly used for wood, rub it on and it soaks in.
I dont have pics when I got it as it was. I do remember some fading of the blue
I planned on keeping it at the time so thought nothing of what I did to it.

I did change the contrast on the pics due to taking them in the poorly lit garage and my camera.

Hope this helps
