Old Conservation Department Marker ...

I always like seeing these old Conservation Department markers. I am not sure how many of them are actually 55 years old at this point, and how many were "new" old stock, that had been sitting in a warehouse for years before they were installed. Painted aluminum might be fairly indestructible compared to the plastic markers of recent decades, but I can't imagine the original markers from late 1960s would still look this good after all those years. The DEC replaced the Conservation Department on April 1, 1970.
