Before 1954, all US stop signs were yellow with black lettering, and many were riveted aluminum with embedded glass \"cat's eye\" reflectors instead of paint. Perfect detail for transition-era and pre-WWII layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003eAbout the Signs\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLineside Details captures the pre-1954 prototype perfectly: yellow octagonal sign, black STOP lettering, visible rivet pattern around the border, and a hint of cat's-eye reflector dots. Pre-assembled on metal posts. Drop two into a downtown scene, a rural farm crossing, or any pre-1954 era setting and you've added that hard-to-find period-correct detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 pre-1954 YELLOW stop sign assemblies per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRivet detail around the border and cat's eye reflector accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-assembled on metal posts — drill and plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for pre-1954 transition-era and steam-era layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-to-find historical detail at HO scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured by Lineside Details, LLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLineside Details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLD-2976\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHO (1:87)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 sign assemblies per pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-1954 yellow STOP sign with rivets and cat's eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteam Era \/ Transition Era (pre-1954)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoads, intersections, town scenes, grade crossings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14+ (contains small parts)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen were US stop signs actually yellow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1924 until 1954, the federal standard was a yellow octagonal sign with black STOP lettering.
