I'm glad to see the outpouring of support to get it back up, very cool, the diving lady has a lot of friends

 

I haven't looked at all 110 pages yet, but if anyone is interested, I am going to put this sign up for sale soon. T.Kitchen

 

Wow thats cool. Out of my budget i'm sure but very cool.

Warms my heart to see all you sign lovers! Thanks Ryan, for the thread. And, I know of no one to whom folks like us should be more grateful than Tod Swormstedt in Cincinnati. He (and his family) have been at the forefront of preserving America's sign heritage for many , many years. It's been mentioned in this thread sometime back...and worth mentioning again:
www.signmuseum.net please enjoy and support.

 

Check those prices

 

This is an amazing thread Thanks to all of you that have contributed! As soon as some of this snow goes away and it warms up a bit I will go on a "sign hunt" around the Wichita area and get them posted up on here!

My first post, but have followed this thread for ages. Apologies if anyone else has posted these signs, I visit Chicago once a year and the body shop one is always on my to do list.

 

Same one by night.

 

Another good one in Chicago, sadly dissapeared last year!

 

Last one, on LaSalle, Chicago.

 

Whoops, try again

 

The sign is only 25 years old but it looks great on this 100+ year old barn. Near Canby, Oregon.

 

The one I saved the other day. later,Bill

This may be the last Norge ball left here in Portland, Oregon. If anyone knows of another (this one is on SE Stark) we'd love to know.

Always have liked this one. Mobile Village - Portland, OR.

 

I collect and partial to PONTIAC or GM stuff but like anything colorful.

Most of my collection is in storage waiting for new building to be displayed.

Here is one old shop and one of my cars, now sold.

Here is one that I ran into a few weeks ago on a quick trip out to Tortilla Flats, AZ. One of the prettiest drives you could ever hope to make!
