I purchased these yesterday along with some UNION 76 items. What is the vintage? Where were they used? Thanks Jim

The artwork is reminiscent of what I remember from the middle 1950's in their maps . I would say probably about 1956 or so. Ed Shaver

This FLYING A wing was also in the batch. 66" long. Has 4 clips on the back for mounting, instead of mounting holes. Same era?

As the guys have said, you have a "Home Run" on your hands...

The "Flying A" and the Associated Attendant are 2 items that one hardly ever see. Not a lot of them survived... And most that did were/are so weathered that it is next too impossible to make out the original features....

just an opinion here but I have the sign Dennis pictured. I believe the signs shown here are repops, several have showed up lately. I remember seeing these in various brands on eBay a couple years ago. I will post a pic of my original, to me the face is wrong but hey, what do I know.

Here's a pic of mine, came from underneath a bulk plant 50 years ago. Your 2 make 4 that I've seen in the last couple months with the later style face. Could have been a find, all the conditions seem to be identical which always seems suspicious but again, only my opinion.

they did re-pop these with various company names on them,
but considering the other items that came with them I believe they might be alright- I haven't seen anything else questionable that you've shown us.. cool
