Signs

Like that a lot!

 

A white Lada Riva and a gold Austin Maestro.. how you ended up with those plates? Those are both a bit lost in Wisconsin!

 

I did a bit of horse trading for those plates. I also have an Irish plate that isn’t hung up yet.

 

I've just got this one, the original front plate off my old 1964 Hillman Super Minx.

Look closely, there’s some New Zealand plates and some Western Australia plates too.

 

Nice! Looks good on the wall.

I’ve got the guy at the local scrap yard saving road signs for me . Putting them on the ceiling of my garage.

Very nice. I bet its a lot harder to paint them on a vertical surface like that.

 

No current photos but I have a few old signs (and some old junk I think it cool). I've gotten a couple of old tool company signs since.

 

Bringing this one back to the top. Picked this one up from a friend recently.

I found this Pegasus sign in an old orchard and it had been rolled up into a ball by an idiot on a Caterpillar. The farmer gave it to me and I brought it home. I donned two pair of safety goggles and proceeded to unfold it. I got as far as I could and decided the best place to display it would be on my garage wall. It just fit in the space. I wish I had taken a shot of it prior to unfolding it....

 

Don’t think I’ve posted this sign here yet. Double sided, hand painted tin. Dates from the late teens - early 20s.

 

I saw this posted locally for $25 a while back. It was nearly unreadable because of the decades of dust on it.

As I carried out from the garage of the grandson on the man who saved it from the dealership, a few rain drops landed on it and showed bright colors beneath.

I was so excited on my drive home to see what it looked like.

 

This is on the side of a 1950 GE a/c unit I pulled out of the local NAPA store . I took everything out of the cabinet and used the cabinet to cover a air compressor.

 

Nice!

 

Here's some the squirt is a 1956 porcelain that was still in the wood crate. And then a Skelly pump face the Champion was found on a scrap pile.

 

Cool valve cover collection, too. I started collecting when I saw BobK's collection in his shop but I've still got to clean all mine up and paint and hang them. You've got some there that I haven't found yet.

 

When I was cleaning out the basement of the shop we were located in for 60 years after the sale of the building, I found the original sign for the grocery store that occupied the building before our shop. It was 18 feet long, we cut it in two and hauled it to a friend’s garage where it will hang on the outside wall.

 

I fixed this one last fall. I posted a thread on it

 

Great work!

 

Thanks

 

Nice save!
