These old signs are great - brings back many memories of years gone by; also can use some for the transition era.

 Alan,

You could use just about any one of the signs that don't specifically identify a location.  The car ads, gasoline billboards and Coke signs would show up anywhere.  Tom models the midwest, so he does include a lot of regional stuff in these collections, but there's so much to choose from (100+sets and counting!) you shouldn't have to look far.

What I've done is copied all of these files into a master file in my computer, then I go through using my photo editor tool to cut only the signs I need out, then cluster them into a new sheet.

That makes printing more efficient.

Really nice Pennsylvania Turnpike sign!

Most people don't know the PA Turnpike tunnels followed the route of 50-year abandoned South Pennsylvania roadbed and tunnels for Willliam Vanderbilt (New York Central) as a southern competitor to the Pennsylvania Railroad -- more detailed tunnel history here.
