Anyone have any of these stands for warning flags ca. 1966?

Yes.

When we used to work in busy roadways I used to have two of them equipped with day glo orange tiny bikiniÛªs and holding a ÛÏSURVEY PARTY AHEADÛ sign. It worked too well, law enforcement said I was causing too many traffic problems and ÛÏsuggestedÛ other methods of traffic control. 😉

One of our larger local civil contractors likes to have young ladies operating the stop/go signs at roadworks.

Apparently it calms the motorists and they get many less complaints and road-rage.

So, here is a youtube link to a different version of that video. The song was performed by a band called KMFDM. An interesting juxtaposition of a wonderful classic song with an "edgier" band.
