Here is my Berwyn sign in its new home! It had some green paint on the black mount and some on the sign itself that the city must have slopped all over it when painting poles decades ago. I cleaned it up with some 0000 steel wool and denatured alcohol. The paint came right off with some scrubbing leaving the enamel perfect underneath. Some anchors for the wall and screws with washers and wala!
