    Warms my heart to see all you sign lovers! Thanks Ryan, for the thread. And, I know of no one to whom folks like us should be more grateful than Tod Swormstedt in Cincinnati. He (and his family) have been at the forefront of preserving America's sign heritage for many , many years. It's been mentioned in this thread sometime back...and worth mentioning again:
    www.signmuseum.net please enjoy and support.

    This is an amazing thread Thanks to all of you that have contributed! As soon as some of this snow goes away and it warms up a bit I will go on a "sign hunt" around the Wichita area and get them posted up on here!

    The sign is only 25 years old but it looks great on this 100+ year old barn. Near Canby, Oregon.

    This may be the last Norge ball left here in Portland, Oregon. If anyone knows of another (this one is on SE Stark) we'd love to know.

    Here is one that I ran into a few weeks ago on a quick trip out to Tortilla Flats, AZ. One of the prettiest drives you could ever hope to make!
