The bottom has been touched up due to rust so there is no date. Any idea of when this sign was made? I cant seem to find anything on the internet like it Thanks Steve

Got that info from the Raybestos corporate website under "History". From observing the boxes of those brake linings and shoes and their applications at auto swap meets over the years, I believe they continued using this trade name into the 1950's. John in Wisconsin
