Post 1961 Shelter Signage

Standard 20" X 14"
Exterior Shelter Sign.
Made of Aluminum.
I've found some of these in the field
mounted on the inside of facilities
Left one was in use outside for 50 years
Right one was never used
You can see why some of these signs are difficult to spot

Some of these signs have crisp lines
while others look almost double printed as seen below.
