Just wanted to share a sign I picked up this week from my Mother In Law's house. It was found in their basement years ago and had been misplaced for years. They found it after cleaning out the basement this spring. I think it would have been on a boiler or furnace. Anybody know anything about it? It's porcelain and could use a little cleaning. The company was located in the PA town my wife grew up in.

I somehow missed that Tom. Thanks! A lot of good information. It's my wife's hometown, but I know where a lot of the places are that are referenced in that link. Interesting how booming that area once was (even not so long ago).

It was from what I gathered, an automatic coal stoker for a coal fired furnace and/or boiler.

The first boiler that I ever worked on was a forties Titusville. My job was to chip off all the asbestos and patch it. That was before asbestos was bad.  |

Just looked them up. Looks like they aren't too tough to find and show up on eBay fairly often. Not too expensive either. Condition varies greatly. Pretty neat looking piece. |

Ever since this post I wanted a ashtray again... well one showed up on ebay a few miles from me all painted..... It's been off and on ebay for a while so I shot them an offer, picked it up today and stripped the paint off... now I have the coin/change holder I've been NEEDING ( that's what I'll tell the wife anyway when she gets home)  |

I haven't picked one up yet, but I should to go with the sign. That's great that it was local. I should start actively watching them again. I've seen a few different styles.
