These were in a trunk with my brother-in-law’s postwar Lionel trains, which he last packed away in 1958.  There is one complete set of 28 signs, and a group of 10 extra signs.  I don’t know what the demand for them might be, nor their value, other than a few hits on the common auction sites.  Below is a description that I clipped from another RR hobby forum.  I am asking $220 shipped for the complete set, and $70 shipped for the extra set, which are lower prices than what I saw.  I will cut a package deal for the whole lot.  If wanted, I will include the 1954-postmarked envelope with the complete set.  My email is in my profile.
