The Last Old-School Street Sign in Brooklyn?
The blog Ephemeral New York snapped this photo of what it thought may be the "last old-school street sign in Brooklyn." Presumably it's located just to the south of the Cumberland Diagnostic and Treatment Center. In the comments, however, Kevin Walsh, of Forgotten NY fame, says there's an even older one a few blocks away on Willoughby Street. Similar signs, he adds, can also be Coney Island Avenue and Homecrest Court, Rewe Street and Ivy Hill Road and 68th Street and Madeleine Court. Any others readers can think of?
UPDATE: Denton, of South Slope Reno fame, sent along a photo of the Willoughby Street sign. Click through to check it out.

Oh wow. They need to encase that thing in glass. Quite a feature.
