Thanks guys for all the e-mails. I have had many asking about buying 1 of these signs.
I will sell one but not right now. I want to find the jewels for the 1 sign needing them because it's in a little better shape and if i can get some i will sell the other.
Any info. will be great.
E-mail me if you have some jewels petronut@aol.com

I figured with them all missing off 1 letter it was done Intentionally. The house is sold and the new people are moving in... think i could go look? LOL Could be a gas collector moving in or something.

Great signs JJ. I've seen alot of "marble" traffic signs and thought they were kinda cool, but these are way better! Bet you had a ton of offers to buy them already. What's something like that worth? A grand each???
When is little JJ going to start collecting?

Yes Bob i have had many e-mails from people wanting 1 of them. Had one wanting me to... should i say "give it to him" and me pay shipping. LOL
I do need 11 jewels before i sell one. I want to keep the one that is missing a few as it's a little better shape.
