    Ed,

    I finally found My ROUNDTUIT and looked on the desktop box at
    the Burna-Shave article on Wikipedia that I saved in 2017.

    On the second page in the EXAMPLES section it says "600 or so"
    signs. Also mentions a book "The Verse by the Side of the Road"
    by Frank Rowsome and Carl Rose. Stephen Greene Press , OCLC
    656940

    It's an important part of America's history and nostalgia.

    They are now in museums, or collectors garages.
