Where did you get it? Let's here the story. Title: Re: Just picked this up Post by: Jim on January 17, 2011, 10:17:22 pm Very Nice Frostie ! ! !
Can we assume this is an original...? Quote We need a sign section, Admin. With soo much literature on advertising signs, I thought focusing on soda machines, coolers and syrup dispensers was enough to keep me busy... :tounge:Title: Re: Just picked this up Post by: cokepicker on January 18, 2011, 04:47:00 am Thats awesome!
Title: Re: Just picked this up Post by: bcharlton on January 18, 2011, 10:34:02 am Yes it is a mid 1950s original. As many of you know, Stout Sign re-poped these in the 1980s. I believe most of the repos were 24". This is almost 40" in diameter and is original. I was luckly enough to have the wife win it for me on E-bay .
Not cheap but one of my nicest 50s original signs. I also think a separet catagory for old signs would be a great idea. I have a ton of them but I don't know much about them, Brian Title: Re: Just picked this up Post by: collecture on January 18, 2011, 10:54:13 am I also think a separate category for old signs would be a great idea. I think it would be great too. Jim - maybe just a separate 'Member's Signs' area in the SMC Photo Gallery. Let it be a Wikipedia type area where people can input their knowledge of the piece? Of course, I don't know the feasibility of that or how much work that would be so it is up to you. |
