Maybe I think different than most people, but I can't stop laughing for about 10 minutes after I drive by one in front of a house with oblivious little kids in the yard playing...
I wanted to go back and get one years ago that said "Weight Limit 0 Tons". Last time I checked, the bridge was closed. I've got a couple of signs in the living room. The Red Crown Gasoline was covering a hole in the wall of a barn on my grandparents farm. The Dr. Pepper sign was screwed to the paneling inside the '63 Dodge panel truck. I didn't realize until I got the truck home that it was a porcelein covered metal one. I've also got Oklahoma Farm Truck signs from 1960 thru 1968, a couple of tail light lenses, hub cap from a '40 Chevy truck, and the Danger sign that was hangin' in the bar for my 40th BD in March.
We have a couple decent signs. The One Way sign says the direction we are headed. Our Pegasus flying on the ceiling. Our randy neighbor, always trying to get us loaded. The reminder of the old days at the store. That collection of neons in HemiRambler's post gave me the cold sweats. Very nice. Ray in CT
Well now i know you guys will beat me to it but i want to back over the "Now entering Coupville" sign in Coupville WA
I have these in my garage, except the max tie up one, thats in the bathroom. Took it off a boat dock in Lake Havasu when I lived there. The rest were gifts from a friend who new how to get to the citys junk yard the back way.
I saved some route sign tops someone had made into.. I dont know what, they were bolted together in a square. North, West and South all black on white background. Last junkyard I was in I picked one up that reads '4 ton weight limit" old stamped-lettering sign. If I can get back there was an orange sign of some sort jammed in the front of a Plymouth, I couldn't budge it to even see what it was. I have a few road signs stashed to a friend's. He's the sign collector, has probably hundreds in all conditions. They're up all over the barn, the block house, and some nice ones inside the main house.
No road signs. I kinda think they're gay. Old beer signs oil signs, gas signs and tobacco signs, yeah. I wish they had old opium signs or LSD porcelain signs. I'd be all over that.
no playing in stream--in the bathroom the best stop sign-- in shop caution hard hat area-- in shop mile markers-- in shop maple avenue--in shop amish buggy crossing--in shop shows a buggy and horse OLD school ROD camel smokes-- in shop
I "found" one out on a railroad access road in our sates northwest while i was working during school holidays once. I saw it, made the guys driving the truck stop so i could "pick it up". I then had to wrap it in cardboard and bring it on the plane home with me...****ting my pants the whole time thinking i was going to get busted..It now resides on my garage wall with pride. Its one of those Australian type yellow reflective with large black letters that reads HUMP It'll be with me forever he he he
Ok, I've pretty much decided I need to copy BB and get a DIP sign for myself. ANYONE have one they would like to sell? That and the double hump sign that looks like ****ies... I have ideas for that one. ALSO... I will pay big $$$$ for one of these...
Too bad I am retired ... NOW ... I was the sign shop man ... for 30 years for the government ... I could make anything I wanted ... so .. I have none hanging at home ...
