This is a sign my grandfather did many, many years ago. It is still standing. He was a tin smith and did many tin roofs. And a few signs.

That is so cool! . . . are you a third generation sign painter?

Shelia,
No, my Dad did many things but no signs that I know of. I am just interested in the BB because it is like learning from my Grandparents about the old ways and new ways. They are all gone now. Plus there are a lot of Artists here. I went to OSU for 3 1/2 years Majoring in Drawing and Painting
Jill, It must be extra strong as I remember it as always being there and I would say it is over 50 years old or very close. Many things he made we still use and things you can buy now do not last as long Posted by Delzell (Member # 1965) on :
My second cousin near there found this out for me:
quote: So far I haven't found out much. The only info I have got right now is that the sign was put up about 40 years ago...I guess the Sebring Trojans football team was state champs or something...and that's when they put it up.
