The former US 411 in Madisonville still has the original US 411 reassurance up, with a haphazard TO above, as well as a very original TENN 68 reassurance marker. Courtesy Lou Corsaro. Heck, the state primary triangles are almost all gone (secondaries still use them), let alone those with state names inside.

This quite ancient TN 34 shield is on a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Maryland; that particular chain often ends up with various road signs in its restaurants, but this right-turn warning sign is particularly historically interesting. Many states used octagons or small shields with R or L in them (or even S) to indicate turns, while apparently TN went with a single rectangle.
