These are some items I have picked up on my sign hunting excursions . I found the Sinclair sign lying in a field off a hiway/ turned intrastate. This sign also had a "clean restrooms" sign with it. The gas station that was there is now gone many years ago. The Amiration Bread sign I found under a pile of wood and debri, where an old grocery store once stood in a community that once stood in Goldsmith, Texas. The Jax Beer clock/lighted sign 5' x 5' came from an old dance/beer hall honky tonk my family used to run back in the sixties and seventies in San Antonio, Texas, if you don't ask for nothing thats exactly what you'll get. The yellow stop sign came from the street my grandparents lived on in Odessa, Texas. They all adorn my saloon I built in my backyard. If anyone has any info date they came from I could dig it. I have looked forever on the internet and can't find a clue. Thanks.
