The SS-5 Street Name Sign was originally released in 1950 in dealer boxes of one dozen. Like most of these similar items, the dealer box is much harder to locate than is the sign. It was only produced in the common GREEN color that Bachmann used on many of their small items. This piece was also available in many of the Master Units beginning with the SU-4 Shopping Unit of 1950.

The Street Name Sign Tag

Originally it came with a tag as is illustrated to the left. It was mounted at the top of the sign as is shown to the right. The buyer could use this tag to write the name of a street on it and then cut it to fit in the sign. This tag is very difficult to locate today.
