RAILWAY EXPRESS AGENCY- A great sign from the past! Once almost as well known as UPS is today, the Railway Express Agency in 1917 had seven express companies in the United States. During the first World War, they were all consolidated into one. REA began an Air Express Division in 1927. Sadly the company filed for bankruptcy in 1975. This sign has a second set of contacts which will allow the option of flush mounting the sign on the side of building. Sign measures 4.19" wide x 4.8" tall. LIMITED EDITION!
