Old RR Crossing signs

Pictures of the prototypes of these just came across the Early Rail mailing list, and so another distraction was born!
The first is based on a photograph of a sign in Hingham, Massachusetts ca. 1861. According to the mailing list, the wording on the sign was dictated by law back in 1835... The second is based on a prototype in Idaho ( Rathdrum, to be exact) in 1888. Coloring is hypothetical for both.
I've just sent these to the DLS, so expect them some time this week (most likely)...
