Felling pretty lucky to have scored this original Lincoln Highway sign. Not many come up for sale. It cleaned up real nice and is now one of my favorite signs.

Before:



After using some Bar Keepers Friend to cut the rust stains.

Badmotorfinger,
Great job with this sign! Nice restoration.
Get a load of this...An original brick section of the Lincoln Highway is on the other side of Papillion Creek right behind my house in Elkhorn NE. I can see it out the back door.
I grew up west of Fremont NE about 3 miles from Hwy 30 (Old Lincoln Hwy) in a house right down the street from where my Dad grew up. This sign telling drivers that North Bend NE is just 5 miles west, would have been right near where my Dad grew up and very likely would have still been posted when he was a boy. He and my Grandfather may very well have seen this sign, I think that is highly likely.
I'm glad to see that it's not in a landfill somewhere, but given how rare these are, they are (and have been) so sought after that hopefully none of them were purposely discarded.
Should you ever decide that you would part with this, I would be extremely interested in this particular sign given how it was posted right down the street from home. I would pay very well for this should you ever be so inclined.
Cheers!
