I would like to know the rough time period that this sign is. It is double sided porcelian and is 33 1/2" in diameter. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

The "Flying V" was Socal's way of showing suppport to the allies during WWII. So, yes, 40s is probably more acurate. So although that "logo" was used into the 60s, the blue shadow effect was later removed. So that is the earlier design.
