I think you can buy reproductions or something quite similar.

Yep all suits not an honest working man among 'em :-)

Well, maybe that one guy with a working-man's cap and the bow tie. And the old geezer in the front, but I'll bet he's the original Mr. Mesta...

It had a nickname that would not be proper these days.

Really? What's wrong with the "Very Narrow Zano's Bridge"? PC enough for me.
And the spelling, a second 'z', wasn't corrected until 2018. May have been other search returns, YMMV.
