This photo, taken at St. Nicholas & Amsterdam, back in 1982, illustrates perfectly the comments I made in my previous post.
Times indeed change.......

*(Note that #8612's batwing ad space has now been plated over; the outline of the former offside sign box is also clearly visible) |

Fishbowl #8473 in the looming shadows of the now-gone (RIP) iconic Twin Towers, 1979.
(When this "vanished New York" photo was snapped, Your's Truly, at the young age of 22, was working only a few minutes from here, on Wall Street)
Here, note that the rear "batwing" panel is blank, and that the rear sign box is empty.......

3rd Avenue & 34th St., 1972.
Fishbowl #8604 is here signed for the "#16", while the side batwing sign is only half-adjusted to read "SPECIAL"........

Broadway & 230th St., 1981.
Note how the word "STOP" in the DELTA batwing (on #8396) ad fits perfectly into the area once occupied by the nearside rear sign box.....
