Hello again:
I had posted about this in this category yesterday but it got moved to the WANTED section. Just wanting info about whether anyone knows of a 20" round Pure sign.

I purchased a PURE lollipop sign frame and base, mainly for the base to be used on a sign that I already had. I thought that it would be for a 24-26" sign and I could re-purpose the frame and pole. Didn't have a tape measure with me at the time and when I got it home I found it was smaller than I thought, just over 20". I don't think it had ever been taken apart until I took it apart. Any thoughts...Thanks...Dale

Wrong size ring on the base. One doesn't belong with the other IMO.


Thanks

There is a possibility you're right, but if it had been changed, it would have had to be really early. I had to heat the base to a cherry red to get the pipe to turn loose. The ring was permanently attached to the pole also. It wasn't made to detach like a lot of the rings do. Who knows?....

Matthews sold a 20" Tiolene sign at fall Peotone 2011. I think there is a Pure sign that is 20" with a small airplane on it. Definitely 20" signs were made by Pure.

OK. Thanks Greg. Tiolene would be the easier to find(yeah right). I have a 15" with the Airplane but didn't know about the 20". At least now I know what to be on the look for.....
