This sign assembly at the junction with Missouri 86 on Missouri 13 north of Blue Eye, near the Missouri-Arkansas border, shows an earlier version of Missouri markers. In recent years, Missouri markers have been produced with larger digits and a small white margin around the edges of the sign.
Nearby on another sign assembly, the two markers are together, providing a comparison between the new and the old.
