Once again, thanks for the contributions, guys. I'm still not quite sure what I want to do with this sign, but I doubt I will worry about trying to restore it, at least not at present. If true fired-on porcelain repair can't be done, I can paint-match the rusted areas myself, and I don't know if I want to fool with it.

I may sell it. If anyone wants to make me an offer, feel free to contact me at gryvn@remington-rand.com I don't have a price in mind, just seeing if anyone wants it more than I do.

Other than that, thanks again for the kind welcome, and your thoughtful insights!
