Howdy, where can I find a sign holder like this,,, The brackett I got from The Sign Bracektt Store, but they don't carry anything really unigue to hold the sign with. The sign is a little under 4ft x 4ft 1/2 in. Nudo board. I did not desgin the logo, I just designed the shape of the sign and the background colors.

I'm a spoiled brat Alicia!
I belong to a local Historical Village and Museum who has a resident retired blacksmith doing demonstrations every weekend.
For a small donation to the museum he will do a bracket like that.
We have another couple of commercial iron working shops in town. Custom made to your design and specs. More expensive but the end results are far better than one off the shelf.

Most sign supply shops carry the shackles, but without the details on the ends. They also rust quickly here and send their streaks down the sign becoming very unsightly. I find locals that can bend them from stainless.

Gee, if you weren't so far Jon, I take yous all up on that there retired blacksmith dude. I might vist my local ornamental welder guy up here. I saw some straight aluminun 2"x 24" strips at Lowes. Maybe I could cut and bend them myself,,,,naw. I think I call some of the local sign supplys. Up here they're kinda lame. They cater mostly to the quicky sticky shops.

Alicia,Try a fence co. that do chainlink fences,they use many types of hardware,etc. installing fence & gates. All hardware is galvanised or black powder coated [no rusting]. The big box stores w/ not have as much of a selection of hardware.

Hey thanks Nevman, I ordered some sign holder items from them. Now I'm just gonna sit out front with my chickens and wait for the UPS truck to show up.
