I would bet that your sign was made by the Beach company in Coshocton Ohio. I would also bet that the black did not fade away but in fact it was never there to begin with. I have seen several of this same size, shape sign that were unfinished from the factory. Most were missing the black as yours is, I assume the black was the last color added to the sign in the manufacturing process.

I think this is the same sign with all the colors.
