It's not an old sign but I thought it was worthy of this thread. I saw this article recently,


http://thechronicleherald.ca/wheelsnews/63343-lambo-alpine-poster-turns-30

...and remembered I might have this one laying around somewhere. I did. So I got it framed and put it in a prominent spot in the garage.

I like the budweiser sign mate.

I got the first two from my inlaws when they sold their house.
I drove to Oklahoma City for the Alfa Romeo dealership sign. Got it for $75 plus gas money. I plan lighting it at some point.

Really like that standard sign. I have my eye on one but the flame is gone. Care to share what it set u back.

Don't tease us with just one. I see interesting things in the background that need to be photographed,as they need attention as well. I do love that standard sign but. lee

 

[OldH1]

Does anyone know where I can get a sign made? I am talking about being able to send them the picture via email and have someone recreate it on metal...?

 

[ltkhoover]

My favorite Red Crown sign and some Standard Oil sign flames and pump crowns.

Lee

 

[ahrbrz]

Not really old, but new to me. A definate connection between the tin sign and the neon.

Cheers,

Bruce

You have some very nice pieces there, Over in australia those crowns are worth a fortune, I hope you put more pics up or even show your garage with it's items in the garage gallery section.thanks for sharing.

What did you have in mind, if you can put a design up it might give us a better indication of what is required, eg: flat square sign or embossed, multi coloured and so on. I have made a couple of basic ones for myself and there is another guy on here that makes them out of plywood that does a great job. I live in Australia so it would not be economical for me to try and build one for you.

here is one i created

Garage sale today!

Knoxville Iowa hosts the National Championship Sprint Car races every year. The town used to hang a sprint car sign from every light post downtown. For some reason they decided not to have them anymore and I got one. Now it is hanging in my garage.

 

[JC23]

Great score, Mac!

Picked up this old Monroe Clock from a guy cleaning out all his entire garage. It was pretty crusty but it cleaned up nice, a new tube in the back and it keeps great time too.
