Continuing my ghost sign odyssey I offer up another one for observation. According to my research Kerbs, Wertheim, & Schiffer was the maker of General Arthur Cigars which were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The brand was discontinued in 1917, so this sign had to have been painted prior to 1917.
The sign at the top shows that paint was available at the Parchen Drug Co.
Comments are welcome.

When in New York, make sure you go on the Staten Island Ferry. Some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline and the statue of Liberty. And it's free. And has really cool signage!!

My Apple is dead and heading out for repair soon. I won't be around much till then, my pick of machines is pretty sad without the Mac. Hell of a way to start the year. See you soon!
These signs are used in 2008 olypmic game of Beijing, I scaned it at 2006-9,sorry,not clean....but you can choose which one do you like ?
And when you might think I was bored on that ship photographing all those silly signs...I was. To me nothing in the world is so boring as being on a ship for longer than an hour. There is land in sight for some minutes, even seagulls stop following after an hour or two, There's a cinema and the only movie I wanted to see was broken, there's a band, but it stops singing at 12am, there's a beautiful bar, closing at 12:30am, the time a normal bar makes most money, sleeping is impossible on a moving ship, my friends sleeping like an ox within a second, outside is rain and darkness...BOOOORING from start to finish...
So I hope you like these silly signs ;-)
Ever wonder how Sign Companies mount individual letters and get them straight? Well here you can see a sign template taped to the wall. View it on large and you can see that the letters for the word Market are drawn on the template. Before the letters are tightened down, the template is then torn off the building.
This appears to be an LED sign being installed. I didn't see any neon tubing after they had hung a few letters up. I saw a series of red dots on wires, so I assume its LED.

Direction signs at Beamish Open-air museum, in County Durham, England.
The museum covers several hundred acres, and depicts industrial, agricultural, and everyday life from the Georgian period up to the early 20th century.
THIS SIGN seems to be more of a warning for impending flameout crashes of airliners than a noise warning sign.
Where are the ENGINES on that noisy bird, by the way??
I guess the "artist" forgot them!
It's only the theme!
PLUS, LOOKY at how low that LARGE airliner is to the guy sleeping on the second floor of his house! Just skimming the rooftops!!
Honestly…

Fabrik is the danish word for factory. Shot in a backyard in central Aarhus where a small factory apparently still can make a living crafting specialized bolts.

Hahaha. Saw this on Jam's photostream and couldn't believe the sign!!!
Played with the contrast and saturation as well as color hues a little to spruce it up a bit.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
A lot of different flags in the strong wind. Maybe they even tell a message, but I really do not have a clue if or what.
See where this picture was taken. [?]

deformed roadsign, Haltwhistle, 2013. When I took this photo, a lady in a nearby garden asked if I was from the council (of course, all council workers drive 15 year old Fiat Puntos with their wives and parents inside!) as she thought I was looking to get them replaced. Trying to explain that you go around taking pictures of old road signs is never easy!
The other side of this sign was a pre-Worboys 30 limit sign.
Old neon sign for the former Acme in Egg Harbor City, NJ. The supermarket which had been open since the 1950s, closed in 2002.
The Corn Exchange in Leeds on a lovely Spring day ... some of the elements remind me of a Dali painting ...
Tsunami sign with the Mad River bridge in the background. Photos for an earthquake preparedness magazine.
Here is one for you Compdude512! This was taken at the Pagoda atop Mt Penn in Reading, PA. Just as I was taking this picture, someone entered in the door to the lower right and startled me! I do not know the make or model of this sign but I thought it was cool so I snapped this picture.
