Probably sometime this year. It looks too good to be true.

I saw that sign at the show. Buzz couldn't enlighten you any. A real nice porcelain sign. I don't believe it was new. Ed

Its Buzz's sign, not a re-pop. Very nice original. He asked me to see if anyone could verify a specific year. We had discussed the transition period, but thought that perhaps someone might know exactly.
