I have found a picture of the yellow stop signs with the reflective marbles in the wording and also the RR crossbucks made the same way.

Charlie, I think you need to specify which state you want the striping for. I don't think it was standardized until sometime after 1960. I have seen folks use yellow striping here for areas on the East Coast, but I remember that California had white striping until sometime after 1956 or 57. I lived in Southern California at the time when the color changed, and we moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1958. It seems to my fading memory that the change occurred sometime just before we moved, but that is as close as I can narrow it down to.
