Found this on eBay.

Fiberglass panel with brass grommets, 24″ diameter, very slight scarring on edges, the buzzsaw image is unmarred.

Good find. I have a smaller one – maybe 12” x 12”. I am curious if their use.

I don’t think those were exterior signs on stations, because the ones I saw, before the screaming eagle, were almost always round with no border outside the buzzsaw. It was obviously intended to be hung somewhere, probably outside, with the grommets.

The guy I bought it from was in Milwaukee, so that’s not much of a clue.

Ron, I have a sign just like yours. It came from the estate sale of a retired MP employee. If I understood things properly, he was in the marketing department. I have no idea what it was used for. My best guess is that it came off of an early auto rack. But, that is only a guess.
