Nice Bench Mystery: Solved

You might recall a couple of weeks back I noted a mysterious bench plaque at San Francisco's Music Concourse: "Nice Bench, 2" small plaque on a bench that reads, "Nice Bench / A gift to San Francisco Parks an honor of the Nice Family"

I looked around a little for the implied "Nice Bench, 1" but gave up before finding any such. There are many many benches in the Music Concourse.

My mom was also interested and did not give up. Yesterday she found this:

Hats off to my mom.

(Some puzzlehunt enthusiasts use "moth vs maggot" jargon to describe people who flit from task to task vs people who persist at a task for a couple of weeks. Those puzzlehunt enthusiasts will appreciate that I am moth-er than my mother.)
