Removed from storefront 20 years ago........ old foam letters Posted by Kathy Joiner (Member # 1814) on :
I can beleive it! Reminds me of an old sign guy around here named "Bayou Ben" Childers. He did the foam letters and graphics as well. Those things were attractive and held up for years. He dies over twenty years ago and there isn't a lot of his work left.
His widow is a dear friend of mine, she helped me take care of the "Boss" and my mother-in-law before she died. She wants to teach me how to make styrofoam signs, and I think perhaps I should do it soon. She is in her seventies and was his artist. Actually he did the selling, she made the signs!

Kathy,
I'd jump on that offer if I was you!
Spudster,
The cool thing thing with this is they are antique letters. Can they be repainted? What a selling point for resale to an antique shop!
Thanks for posting this Spud, I love seeing the old styles!
