The American Sign Museum is planning to be at the Mars, PA meet in late August. We are always looking for objects--not only vintage signs but vintage "sign stuff" such as catalogs and books; sign sketches, blueprints and other sign art; signkits, sign tools and equipment, and sign materials; advertising specialties realting to signs; etc.; etc. Call Tod Swormstedt ahead of time @ 800-925-1110, ext 336 or check out www.signmuseum.org Se y'all there

Hi Tom, Here's an old picture that was given to me before his death, from Hoot Gibson a sign painter who gave me his last set of brushes, a few photos, his sign kit he had since he was a young man. If we can figure how to ship it, I would donate his sign kit to your museum, I've had it for over 15 years now, but I think it would make him happy knowing others can see his old kit, and some of his photos. I will try and get you a photo of his sign kit later today.
On the back it says San Pedro, CA 1925-28 left to right... his brother John McKenzie-Boss, Bill Wright-Sign Painter, Jack Stewart-Helper, Boyd Charles-Card Writer, "Bookie"- ?Bookkeeper. I Lynn Gibson worked there too.

Hi Todd, I have a book with the complete course of fine and show card lettering from the Republic School in NYC. Is this something you would be interested in?
