Is this from the 1950's?
I'd say your signs out of the late 30s 40s. I have the same sign here on this site some people call it a sidewalk sign some call it a curb sign. I ride my Harley through Kingman, Indiana every year to the Newport hill climb. I just had lunch there a couple months ago on the Harley. You have a nice sign.

Hi officialfuel, very cool, my brother found this sign out in the woods in Kingman I believe while hunting deer. Could be from an old gas station there, I believe they currently have just one gas station and a population of 510 people, I wonder what gas station was there back in the 1930's-50's and could this sign have come from it if there was one back then? I read that the post office was opened there in 1890's and then the town was founded in 1900.
Very nice sign, I would have to agree with offialfuel on the 30-40s. I have seen this sign in a antique shop near my home. very pricey, seem to remember $1400 tag on it or maybe $2400 I go so often I seem to get things mixed up in my head
Very nice sign to find laying in the woods!! Awesome find:) Welcome to CW.
