And keep in mind, the mesh fence above the green was also part of the field.

This is why I say the Lifebuoy sign wasn't painted until the wall was at it's finished height.
Also, I'm only trying to figure out what years the Lifebuoy sign was used. I found through reading that the vandals that painted "and they still stink" under the Lifebuoy sign was in 1936. So, my guess is the Lifebuoy sign was painted late 20's early 30's. Funny this is hard to find. You would think it'd be an easy find. |
According to what I found, Lifebouy was sold in the country from 1923 to the 50's. So I will put a sign for that in 1915-1938 version and no booze. I already up dated the 10-14 version and will see if I can remove the lifebouy sign from the early version and put some other stuff up.
