I have a passion for old signs. So much so I started making them. Anyway here are some original old ones and some I made. Plenty More To Come! What do you have?
Mark,I knew you made some signs but I was unaware you have made so many,you missed your calling,that work looks better than some of the professional sign painters I have dealt with in the past. HRP
If Old Signs could talk what interesting stories they could tell us!!! I also love old sign fonts and lettering styles from back in the day when sign painters would take an old farmers barn on the side of a major road and letter up the sides with advertising in the day's before we had bill boards.

My Dads name was L.J. Anderson so when I found this sign years ago I thought it was a neat sign to have. It weatherd to the point where you can barley make out the L but I like it. I found an old light to hang above it to add to the vintage look. it.
Thanks HRP Here are some more from my collection.( a few I made) Starlite Drive In was were we all went on most dates.
This is the sign my pal Mark made & gave to me when he and his lovely wife came to South Carolina for a visit. HRP
A few of my signs,this old Goodrich sign is in good shape for it's age and the fact it was used to patch a floor in a rooming house bathroom. A sign painted friend gave me this one. My grandfather had a small country store and these came from there. This one was hand painted on wood.
This is a old Pepsi sign to was nailed to the side of my grandfathers country store. I think it's time to remove it from the barn and bring it inside. This one is on my barn. These are in the house. The lighted Lucas Paint sign was from our family paint store. HRP
I have a few, most are repops, but I have two vintage signs. The Champion sign was a gift from a good friend who was remodeling his garage and decided it didn't fit the new aesthetic. Would love to find a few more of the hanging attachments. The Hudson sign I found in the woods behind one of the barns shortly after we moved to the farm. Those are my size 13 feet in the picture for scale . Oh yeah, did anyone mention license plates?
Had to get this.......front side is a hand painted sign. AM/FM 40 channel CB. Was $289 NOW $199. GO GO side is older. Front 70's? (from what I recall of 40 channel CB's becoming popular). It will be displayed on the GO GO side. Trying to talk the wife into hanging in bedroom. Probably not.
Nice to know that I am absolutely harmless with the few signs I have...i will have to show my wife this thread... And some indoors...
My signs are just like me. Old, dented, rusty, well used. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
