White Mountains "Attention" sign on Ebay

[ksearl]

Where the heck do you think someone got their hands on one of these??? I can't believe they are that readily available!

They are, though this may have been stolen. I've seen ligit ones for sale. I'll see if I can find a link.

Edit: Well, maybe not "readily" available, but I know I've seen them.
Another sign I wouldn't buy because everyone would think I stole it.

Its been "washed clean" through an estate sale

I always wonder how much of the "treasures" found in storage auctions on TV are of questionable title.

I seriously doubt that there is a paper trail associated with the sign. On the other hand, I expect that former employees probably have access to them and at some point the sign may have declared trash and rather than landfilling it, it ended up in private hands by default.
