One of my favorites. In pretty good shape with the exception of the rust around the screw holes. The highlight of my sign wall.

Jameeyrd, I don't know how to say this other than you need some LIGHT ! your pics are so dark I can't see anything, is something wrong with your camera?
Yeah, they looked better when I took them! I will re-post an alternate one later!
Thanks EJW-54, BELLIN68, MMM, officialfuel, Chevelleman69, trukn20 and egreeley1976!
Good looking sign! Just a suggestion.. if you get a free photo editor (even Windows Live Gallery) you can increase the brightness and the contrast of your pics to make them look better even if the camera isn't turning out the best images. Voila, easy fix. Love the sign!
Thanks aycockonxion; I took the darker one first but did not delete the photo. My "cave" is dark at night, so anything to increase brightness to the photos will help!
A delayed thanks to Trey!
Thank you leighannrn !
is that the 15" diam. sign? Would like to see your other signs.
Thanks chevy59 and kerry10456 !
Thanks for your interest Mike, it is the 15" sign. I just posted a couple of new signs including one rusty one I have had for a while. I have posted quite a few others throughout this site. Thanks again!
Thanks to kerry10456 !
