Hi, I just bought this sign. I know most of them have "made in USA" on the left lower part and the date on the right lower part. Any idea why mine is like that? Maybe Canada? Thank you for your help.

Not an expert, but looks good to me
The sign guys will chime in to let you know for sure.

Orillia is a town in ontario canada Thank you all for the information. I guess Canadian signs were all dated this way? (town and year stamped instead of "Made in USA with complete date?)

P and M is a Canadian company from Orillia Ontario. It stands for porcelain and metal, they made signs for most of the Canadian gas and oil companies. TC

SEE? R...P ...KINDA LOOK THE SAME. I'LL ADMIT MY MAC HAS A NICE HD SCREEN BUT I CAN ONLY SEE SO MUCH SINCE MY VISION ISN'T HD ANYMORE. AFTER I MANIPULATED IT WITH PHOTOSHOP AND ANOTHER SECRET TOOL ON MY MAC, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE "P" WASN'T ORIGINALLY A GOOD SOLID HIT IN THE PRINTING PROCESS. SOME STRAY DIRT MAKES IT ALSO LOOK LIKE AN "R" A LITTLE.
