These signs are great. You've found a few Canadian ones that are appropriate for my time period. Have you found any more Pittston Coal Company ones? I saw one.

You could start a thread of your own list of modern signs!

I model Pre-1970 so when I look for signs I do not keep any newer ones. If you look around you can find the newer signs.

How do you find all these older signs?  I've been trying to find signs for Biltmore Milk and Community Cash grocery stores, both popular in the region of the Carolina's I'm modeling during the 50s/60s.

You must have 'em all.  We used to get Biltmore & Foremost  delivered to the door and what do you know, you have them side by side.  Thank you.

Lots of exelent signs. I may print out every sheet, and keep a binder full of them, and see if I use them all up.

Do you have North America's largest stock-pile of signs?

I just enjoy finding them & using them on my layout. I'll post them as I find them. Most are pre 1970, as I model 1960-1970. Well here are a few more.

Sort of an ironic twist with the signs in the first batch.

I'm a chicken farmer, and Purina laying mash is what they get (along with cracked corn) and on the first row, 2 large signs for Purina Chicken feed. And, I was imidiately drawn to them when I saw them.

I'm going to put those on the layout real quick.
