Wall St Sign Question |
|
|
Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Sep 1 11:11:55 2010 Is this really a sign from the subway station at Wall St? I have never seen a sign like this in the subway.In any event, I think he is WAY to high....but that's another story. http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-1960s-WALL-STREET-Subway-sign-16-X98-/270628951514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f02be15da |

The sign DOES look similar to a sign style found at the Wall/William station through about 2004 or 2005.An example of this sign can be seen hanging from the ceiling in the image below.

All signs in place had the word "Street" spelled out and not abbreviated "St"It is definitely from the late 1980's renovation. 1960's signs were either the original black on white (with the original early 1900's style lettering) or black on white with a more modern sans serif lettering. |

Shipping heavy oversize objects is very expensive these days. If you are an occasional eBay shipper you would not believe how much it costs to ship.I made the mistake several times of trusting eBay to calculate shipping rates and after factoring in the cost of packaging material, shipping, my time in taking the item to the post office and waiting on line, eBay and PayPal fees I ended up with NEGATIVE income. The item cost me more to sell than I received for it. One of the reasons I stopped selling low priced items on eBay is because eBay discourages sellers from charging what it really costs to ship an item I don't blame those who factor in all of their costs |
