About Vintage Food Signs

Before radio and TV ads, signs were the medium of choice for advertising packaged food brands. In addition to early national brands like Uneeda Biscuit, there were countless regional brand names. Many highly collectible vintage signs feature food brands still known today such as Morton Salt, Campbell's Soup, Hershey's Ice Cream and Chocolate, Wonder Bread, Dairy Queen, Sunkist, Borden's, and Planter's nuts.
