I am looking for pictures of Sign Shops, Trucks, Signs, etc. I will be enlarging these and applying on foam-core to hang at the International in Detroit. I feel this will add more flavor. If anyone could e-mail them to me I would appreciate this. Thank You.

E-mail is: krazykevin1899@aol.com

Just a thought.....

Why not post such photos here? What a great idea for a waiting room display for those of us with a lobby area.

Thanks Doug! I was just about to post that when I saw that you'd done it for me.

Kevin, That is Ace Sign Shop in Edison. NJ. I'll double check but I believe it was around 1930.

Here's another one...let me know if you need higher resolution copies of these and I will email them to you.

This one is from Oklahoma.

I wish I could jump through my screen and ask for a job. You guys are making my day. I am starting to get that old time feeling.

Kim, I will give it a try and see how well it prints.

You beat me to it Kimberly!
I have that one in an old Time-Life book.
There is one somewhere of a Coca-Cola sign install.
I saw it on Google the other day.
Neat idea Kevin!
Didn't someone recently post a pic of their dad's sign shop with the dad and his brother?
Doesn't Arthur Vanson have some old sign pix?
Love...Jill
