Thanks guys!! Please keep them coming!
The Arizona one has the white backing......Hmmm, wonder if there is a black? The older location on 5th St., that was the first Vics in Arizona. It is now a mall I think but you can still see the shape of the old cool roof. This new one that opened in 2006 will probably only have the white as it seems all new matches have the white backings.

I think I may have to suck it up and use white ones if I don't get too many responses on here. At least the whites ones seem to be popping up.

Hey Silverline, No, that's bang on! It does have the black backing. Would that one happen to be 2" wide??

I wonder if the makers of these are different in terms of the black/white backing?
What you guys got?? Actually, just going through mine as I write this and I have black and white backings by the same companies. There goes that theory.

The only thing that tends to be the same is the majority of older locations, that have the old phone numbers on them (forget the year it changed) Example: CAPITAL 8-9611, seem to be the black background and the 2" size. Except so far Beverly Hills.

What does all this mean....... probably absolutely nothing! LOL!!

Please keep them coming!!
