Wowzers!! I mean I trust the Truss and all... But that takes a trust fund to own!

I’m sure the guy that bought it, is stoked to have it.
My guess is, he didn’t have one of those, and his collection is extensive.

That makes me happy to see it sell in that condition .

The Bracket that holds it is Fantastic!

 

[Jesse McCauley]

I believe that bracket may have pre-dated the sign but who really knows?
I can say for sure it comes in various forms...
