"Taken in the city of Sunbury. The Otis sign is the old style Sunbury sign (rare to find now) the High street sign was kludged together (haven't seen anything similar again)--all things considered, an odd pair.  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Also from the city of Sunbury. The Morning street sign is the new style Sunbury sign, and is fairly common. The Granville sign is the old style."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Found in Harlem Township. Clearly a Franklin County style sign. It should be said that this the entrance to a development (Sage Creek is the road leading through the development.) Often developers put up their own road signs, and I hypothesize that this developer just chose to have Franklin County make the sign for them.

There are other examples of Franklin County style signs in Delaware County...found in the southern party of the county, for instance, in Columbus and Westerville. Both cities go into Delaware, but are mostly Franklin County cities, so I further hypothesize that those cities just have Franklin County make the signs, and then use them everywhere in their borders, even if they extend outside of Franklin County.

Harlem Township is fairly far away from the Franklin County border however."   - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Another Franklin County sign in Delaware County? Sorta. Found on John McConnell's (ex-CEO of Worthington Industries and owner of the Columbus Blue Jackets NHL team) very exclusive Double Eagle golf course (the symbol for which is on the left side of the sign.) This sign basically is for a road that leads into a parking lot. It clearly was made in Franklin County for personal use at the club."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Old style Delaware County sign for 3 B's & K road. (I hear it pronounced "three bees and a k" and no one I can find remembers what the three B's and a K are.) Found at the intersection of 3 B's & K and US 36/OH 37, slightly west of I-71."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"This is the sign "ahead" indicating 3 B's and K road on US36/OH37. It is doublesided, on the southside of the highway, this picture was taken with traffic going eastbound, and clearly is situated slightly past the intersection (it seems more helpful to traffic going westbound, even if it's not on their side of the highway.) For that matter, it's usefulness isn't so high, given the fact that few know that 3 B's & K is also Berkshire Township Road 35."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Newer style Delaware County sign for intersection of Cheshire and 3 B's and K road. I believe this sign is either in Berkshire Township or Galena."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"New style sign for Carter's Corners road and US 36/OH 37. It was just erected in the last week or so, and is next to the old style sign, which is still standing. Interestingly, some of the newer style signs spell out US 36 & OH 37, and others just say "US 36 OH 37" without the ampersand. Berkshire Township."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Sign indicating that that Carter's Corners road is ahead...taken from US 36/OH 37 westbound. Berkshire Township."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Taken simply because I think it's a cool sounding street name, with a similarly less-effective "ahead" sign, like for 3 B's & K (double sided, on south side of US 36/OH 37) using less known county route number, and not street name."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Unusual sign, indicating three streets ahead, and their rather normal configuration. Genoa Township."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"I believe both of these are in Trenton Township. For some reason, the road is double signed, with one sign indicating the county route number, and the other the township route number...since the numbers are the same, all I can guess is that they are multiplexed in some way, but I'll have to check my Delaware county map.
Note that the Center Village signs are different (the top with a space, the bottom without, and the bottom with an arrow on it.)"  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"The Walnut street sign is the newest style, the High street sign older style. Found in Galena, unceremoniously nailed to an electrical pole."  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.

"Old and new signs indicating South Old 3 C highway, both found in Galena, fairly close to each other (the older sign was not found at an intersection, it was on the road randomly, next to Alum Creek.)"  - Quoting James Moyer detailing this picture taken on August 15.
