I tried to post in different area but coudlnt put up pictures it is a parallelogram definately old and original est. 1940-50 era it looks like usps but i took to a few old timer usps workers and memorabilia collectors again it looks like an eagle but others have told me that it is the graphic of the front of an old aircraft which it definately looks like it, it did come from a closed airport in MA but i cannot pinpoint the business any help or possibilities would be nice. thanks guys

I hope you don't mind a guess but for some reason American Airlines pops in my head. This is just a guess. Good looking sign!!!

I dont think it's American Airlines.
I would think it was an out of business airline out of that airport

thats what i had thought until i found that usps has only used three different logos and the eagles that they had used faced right and but when it is looked at closely the graphic does look like the front of an earlier passenger plane its a mystery sign but thanks tom it really is a nice sign anyway but its always nice to know what you have.

Here's my two cents...lol. I think it's a sign for Goodyear American Eagle tires.
Thanks Lyle westneb44@yahoo.com
