I just can't see N Y City Hall there. This one's a hard one to clearly see. Thanks chipg!
Looks more like OAMINI CITY? |

you're reading the second line upside down and backwards CITY HALL PO NEW YORK CITY  |

I see what you are saying Chip, and I go along with that. But how common is it to have a vertical stroke divider at the point of the reversal of direction?
CITY HA(LL PO)

That's what is throwing me off too! I see the new york upside down and backwards in relation to the city and then the stroke devider just doesn't make any sense to me either. |

Actually, the inscriptions are not upside down in relation to each other. They are oriented in the same direction for "upright." But the inscription for "NEW YORK" follows the lower curve and runs retrograde in relation to the other inscription which follows the upper curve. |

I can see it now, but I still don't understand the stroke divider. Seems odd to me. Thanks to all for your help. I'm glad you were able to help identify this one!
