Web SItes for Old SIgns
Posted by BobHuddleston on Thursday, May 31, 2012 2:41 PM

I seem to recall an article in GR a while back pointing out websites that have reproductions of signs that I can print and use in the garden. Anyone have any suggestions?

Right after posting I found the Web Art posting on the Scratchbuilder's forum. Thanks -- that is a start!

Vance Bass shared this one for period travel posters.

The October 2011 issue had a column about signs.

Here's one for roadside advertisements.

I believe this fellow is an HO modeller, but you can download the signs you want and re-size them for printing in necessary....

You can get metal or wood signs from the following site. He also will custom make what ever you want. I've ordered some metal ones and they are very nice.
