[Lacy, Jeff (DCR)]

While gold leaf looks nice, a problem I have noted with these is an
inability to read them in bright sun - they are too reflective.  If
coupled with a severe restriction on sign area, this finish seems not to
accomplish the purpose of a sign.  Anyone else make this observation?

The Princeton Historical Commission just recently had two signs made by
Sewah Studios in Marietta, Ohio and we are more than delighted with
them.
The signs are black with gold leaf lettering and a gold leaf town seal.
Sewah has a website and they were very helpful in the process of
ordering
the signs and the time in which they produced them. I recommend them
highly.
Unfortunately I do not have a picture of our signs since they are so new
but
if you look at Chris' e-mail it would appear that the Hopedale sign was
possibly a Sewah Studio sign. When I take a picture of our signs I will
share it with you and Chris.

Depending on the location of the district and the availability of space
it
is not always possible to have the sign exactly where you would like it.
We
tried to choose locations where someone would be able to read the sign
as
they passed by. We also strove to find a prominent place within the
district.

Joyce Anderson, 

Chair Princeton Historical Commission
