I know no one has replied to this thread in a while, maybe a little off topic. But to respond to the original post, I really love the Chinatown street signs in Toronto, a great sentiment to Chinese immigrants in Canada. The old hand painted ones have quite a character, and I must agree the new...

Does anyone have any collections they'd want to share?

No problem! Yea i check facebook and kijiji a lot but they tend not to have anything of interest... I will keep my eye on platinum though!

Funny you mention this as I've been looking to grow my collection for months. I noticed they added some more but unfortunately they have none from neighborhoods I am particularly interested in personally. Would you happen to have any yourself that are for sale? Or know of anyone with any?

Hmmm didnt know the st lawrence ones were so new. Some have even been taken down since then which would mean they were only in service for a decade or so ,pretty short lifespan.

The Annex ones are certainly unique. In terms of condition I'd assume much newer than other acorn ones but I have also heard they may be from the 60s or 70s. The flat piece plus the finial on top is really weird in my opinion, but also appear rarely in other forms around the city.
