    Man am I a lucky collector! I've been watching for something really cool to come in to the scrap yard and finally someone dumped a bunch of metal letters. I noticed them right away and what caught my eye was the "F" and I new it was Firestone so I turned my loader around and found all the letters you see here. The letters are heavy metal and under the red paint is white porcelain! You can see also it was originally lit up with Neon!
    My boss accepted my offer and now they are mine. I will strip off all the paint and see what the porcelain looks like and will have Neon put back on these in the future. For now I have to find some wall space for these!

      That's a L-O-T of wall space needed !
    2. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      Awesome sign!
    3. ravage60 ravage60, 8 years ago
      Love the Firestone letters but I can't help but be mesmerized by the Sunoco can.
    4. racer4four racer4four, 8 years ago
      Wow, what a find! Must be time to build a fantastic new shed to mount this. I'm sure your fantastic old shed is getting pretty full!
    5. Rattletrap Rattletrap, 8 years ago
      Gotta go on the Living room wall where everyone can see em!!! I'm sure that will be an easy sell to your wife? :):):)
    6. Rattletrap Rattletrap, 8 years ago
      OK it may take a little "convincing" at first, but I got my wife to let me put a beautiful full sized Canadian cedar Canoe hanging from The ceiling in our living room, so it can be done! :):):) it'll be an easier sell when they're white.
    7. EJW-54 EJW-54, 8 years ago
      That's right bobby725, but not like it use to be, collectors like us are grabbing all this stuff, so not much comes to the scrap yard anymore:(

    11. EJW-54 EJW-54, 8 years ago
      That's right racer4four, I'm running out of space, my wife says I need 5 acres and a Barn, I said just 1 barn?
    12. EJW-54 EJW-54, 8 years ago
      Rattletrap, its not gonna happen! She'll never go for it, but I did take over a shelf in her china cabinet and I filled in a couple book shelves:)
    13. Daddy_Nobucks Daddy_Nobucks, 8 years ago
      They look nice with the Coke cooler! Outstanding find.
    14. EJW-54 EJW-54, 8 years ago

      That's weird that they are painted, all the one I have seen are that color but porcelain. You may have a rare sign there. The only one I found on GooGle was thishttps://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.mecum.com%2Fauctions%2Ffl0110%2Ffl0110-89836%2Fimages%2Ffl0110-89836_1.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mecum.com%2Flots%2FFL0110-89836%2Fmemorabilia-firestone-neon-letters%2F&docid=Hn5c5G2DXlZwTM&tbnid=Z6W_jhA-Nnv_bM%3A&w=600&h=397&hl=en&client=safari&bih=704&biw=1024&ved=0ahUKEwiQy5yn4onPAhXE4iYKHX4XBzgQMwggKAQwBA&iact=mrc&uact=8
