Highway-Signal and Sign was part of the evolution of signals from the old Horni Manufacturing Company. Horni was sold out to Marbelite of New York. Many early Marbelite flat-tops had Horni Signal part numbers still showing on their castings although reflectors and a few other details differed from Horni.
It is believed that the original owners of Horni operated Highway-Signal and Sign for a short while after selling Horni, perhaps to fulfill some contract obligations.
This particular beacon used the same castings as Horni and Marbelite. Highway-Signal and Sign also used a parallelogram logo on the back, similar to early Marbelites. The identification of the manufacturer of this signal was made possible by the full manufacturer's stamp on the reflector rim.
