Railway Express Agency issued a small lithographed sign, similar to this:

I say "similar" because what is shown is a recent reproduction. These are easily identified because there was no identifying railroad markings on the locomotive tender. Repros have a railroad name, such as "Monon," as shown.

Anyway, I have learned that these signs were issued during March 1930. See:
