1926-1949
Historically, US 41 and US 94 shared a common terminus in Naples:

Droz, Oct. 2001
That was looking west on 5th Avenue South. Robert had a custom historic US 94 shield manufactured, and then he had the sign temporarily posted at the historic terminus:
Droz, Oct. 2001
The US 94 designation used to end there, and to the right (north on 9th Street South) was the south beginning of US 41.

Perhaps there was once an "End US 41" assembly there. At any rate, it was once US 94 that began to the left ahead on 5th Av. US 41 was extended to the left in 1949, replacing US 94. That signage is somewhat recent; here's what it looked like until at least 2003:
