NOTE: I have six other very collectible sidewalk markers listed on Ebay this week so be sure to check out my other auctions. I'll be glad to combine auctions won to save you on shipping costs. This auction features an old heavy brass Suwannee Farms Dairy Products sidewalk marker. I believe this dairy farm was located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Stamped on the back is: National Safety Marker Co., Pontiac, Mich., Pat'd. 4-11-33. This sidewalk marker is 3-3/4" in diameter. It had a 2" long hook sprag on the back to set it into wet concrete ... but the hook spag has long since broken off. Most of these markers were used near bus stops, schools and high pedestrian traffic areas for sidewalk safety markers in the 1930's. The marker would sit flush with the top of the sidewalk and provide a permanent marker for separating pedestrians from motorized traffic. At schools they would use these markers as cue up points to form a line for the buses. Most of the sidewalk markers were removed and used for metal during WWII. So sidewalk markers that made it through the war effort are now very rare and collectible. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
