Hasn't this sign had some "work" done to it?

John I think she said one side was restored in the first post.

Nice sign. I collect porcelain signs. Unsure why a sign would need to be restored on one side and no visible flaws on the other side? I've seen signs faded on one side and not the other. However, never seen a sign that needed to be filled and painted (restored) on one side and appear to show mint on the other side????

I wondered that myself. Maybe it's just clear coated from some fading.

One side face down over the septic. Used as part of a floor in the shop. Used for pitching practice for the local baseball team. I am sure there could be a lot of reasons.
Looking for Canadian Imperial and Canadian North Star.

Really because I've seen a ton of them...
Where the side that was against a wall was protected and the side facing the elements is beat too *****.... Especially true on older signs that were in rural situations where hail, wind, rocks were beating against the exposed side.
A sign that was exposed to gravel will have a ton of pit-marks on it. As rain, freezing temps, heat works on the side exposed, any weak spots in the porcelain will become compromised.... First a chip and then some water gets behind the porcelain, the water freezes and the porcelain is slightly separated from the metal.... Causing rusting and as time goes by......
Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items

I'm hoping the owner will explain the touch up in more detail as well as the good side. Hopefully we will get to see more pictures and an explanation of what the brown stuff is on the sign. Is it filler or what?

That explains nothing. Your post didn't help at all. Let someone who can explain the damage or is familiar with the damage and condition of the sign; answer the question. I may bid on the sign, by bid I mean bid to win. I won't bid on a sign that only has 2 pic's posted and a description that leaves more questions unanswered then answered! ???
Anything Chevron ![[Linked Image from i17.photobucket.com]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/thunder_/136chevronlrg.gif) I'd rather be flying.....
