Excerpt from October 12, 1961 government memo RE: the sign on file with the Judge Advocate General's Office
* Image descriptions marked with an asterisk indicate anachronistic or otherwise inaccurate depictions of the Fallout Shelter Sign.
Specifically,
1. Revolutionary Road takes place in 1959, two years before the first Fallout Shelter Signs were posted.
2. Infamous takes place in 1959, two years before the first Fallout Shelter Signs were posted.
3. Mad Men: This still comes from the first season which is set in 1960 - one year before the Fallout Shelter Sign.
4. Thirteen Days: The colors of the Fallout Shelter Sign are incorrect.

I always chuckle about the fallout shelter sign in 'Thirteen Days,' since either the set design group or the property department felt it better investment to make a sign instead of just buying an original. Production of the inaccurate one most likely cost more than obtaining an original, haha.
NICE POST
