Nathan,

rural France can be a good source, loads on wall-ends, faded amd peeled 
after 
many decades. The number is reducing though as they get painted over or the 
building gets torn down. Belgium is good for signs in some areas.

Getting them to work on B&W though is a problem. Over here (UK) most have 
been 
snuffled up by speculators of one sort or another.
