Great work! Where did you get them? I've been looking for a decal or sign of the 'Con Agra'graphic that used to be on their grain elevators. None hereabouts - the one that was has been renamed.

I'm talking about the 'pie section' Con Agra graphic.

Thanks -

To quote Bill & Ted:  Gratitude for the most excellent 30+ sign galleries!

Another gallery idea -- Here's a Google search for I'm Pulling for Ike.  Political campaigns can be a neat way to peg down a time era for layouts.  Dwight Eisenhower = 1952 & 1956.

Hi from Belgium,

Very good job and certainly big job about the research of all these old signs.

Now we have no more excuses; we can put unpublished and exclusive signs on our layout.

I have your whole collection on my computer and go to edit some this weekend.

The small altered sign on this Nscale building come from one of your page.

Thanks a lot.

Nice signs, too bad that they are so low in resolution. I wonder if you have a link to bigger ones?

They are so grainy now even if I make them in A6 format.

 Thanks for posting the signs!  It has to be a lot of work putting these sheets together.  I downloaded a couple to put on the side of one of my buildings -- tomorrow's project!  I was looking for something like this in the hobby center, but nothing really caught my eye.  Yours did.....Thanks!

 TomKat:

Your pictures are fantastic and I thank you for posting them. I am saving all to my HD and  I have printed out several on Photo Paper and they look great.  I used the street signs first on photo paper and cut tooth pics to length and painted them silver. Now I have lots of stop signs, and RR signs and speed limit and no parking signs.

Now all I need is "Licence Plates" in HO and I will be a happy camper.  It would be great to get a sheet that contained about 20 or so each of Montana, Nevada, NM and Texas.  Have you considered making something like that?

thanks,  Sadie Hawkins and Larry
