Granny would like to offer you this vintage PCC Streetcar or trolley "CAR STOP" sign. This is the exact (or one of) sign that hung overhead in Pittsburgh Streets from the 1930's until PAT (Port Authority of Allegheny County) took over the Pittsburgh Railways Co and stopped or modified most PCC Trolley service. These signs were all retired at that time having completed almost 40 years of service.  The sign is just short of measuring 15 inches in diameter and has printing on both sides. It is an enamal on steel sign. There are many pock marks and chipped enamal spots, but the sign still displays well, better from one side than the reverse. These signs were everywhere during the height of PCC service, as indicated by the photos below. At one time Pittsburgh had the 2nd most PCC cars in service in the USA, and still had the largest fleet running at the time of PAT's acquisition. There are some really great Pittsburgh PCC photos at this site. There is even more information at Pittsburgh Transit. AND, if you are really a trolley nut, check out these awesome PCC handcrafted replicas HERE
