Love these old-fashioned cast-iron road signs in the Carmunnock area of Glasgow, especially pointing fingers and the fact that the distances are given to the nearest 1/4 of a mile!

I prefer gods that talk. Gives a sign. Even a lumber yard will put up a sign.
Worship wood. Worship t h e woods.

Culver City Perfect Motel Sign

It looks like a prop from a movie, but in my mind, it is signage perfection.

Might be time to start a new series of aged signs.

Sur Nieuwe Kijk in ‘t Jatstraat à Groningen/Groningue, une ancienne boucherie dont je ne sais pas grand-chose. Un peu mitigée sur la semi-modernisation de cette façade plutôt mignonne (peinture, fenêtres moches), mais tout n’est pas perdu, quand même, et une partie du charme demeure. Août 2022.

Rez de chaussée d'un immeuble en brique du premier tiers du XXe siècle à vue de nez. Un commerce mal identifié (brocante ? déco ?) y est installé, on voit des cygnes un peu kitsches dans la vitrine ainsi que des petites voitures et des plantes vertes.
L'enseigne du commerce précédent en lettres peintes un peu passées a été conservée, elle dit VLEESCHHOUWERIJ, c'est à dire boucherie. L'entourage de l'enseigne ainsi que les fenêtres modernes du premier étage dont on voit le bas sur la photo ont été peintes dans un vert-gris clair pas très joli.

So, one of my coworkers recently left. For context, I do environmental work.

Sitting in the back seat of his truck as I cleaned it out (and it was filthy) was this. A damaged speed limit sign.

...But why?

Wild guesses not just welcomed, but encouraged.

Photograph of a white, speed limit sign sitting against a greyish wall on the floor. The limit is 15 in black text, but the 5 is partially unreadable. The entire sign is very dirty.

I found this fantastic little ghost sign today at the entrance to a tenement close on High Street in Glasgow. The tenement was built in 1901, but the phone number (Bell 976) indicates the sign dates from sometime between 1936, when the Bell Telephone Exchange opened on nearby Ingram Street, and the 1960s, when the Bell prefix was phased out in favour of the numerical ones 552 and 553.

@gparenti @fembot Your photo made me think of this one I took there in 2013. I was most interested in the sign above the door, but the locked gate forced me into a different, and probably better, framing of the shot.

Painted sign mounted above a double door set within walls of turquoise. This all sits behind a metal gate in a scene of graceful decay.

Ghost sign for Alain Murzeau, Maitre Artisan (furniture maker and interior designer), at 19 Rue du Commerce, 49100 Angers, France.

The business was founded in 1924, and moved here in 1934, perhaps suggesting this is when the sign was painted.

Their shop is still trading at 11 Place Laiterie, 49100 Angers.

The full text of the sign reads:

PEINTURE • PATINE • PAPIER • PEINTS
MOQUETTES • TISSUS • TENDUS

A. MURZEAU

Painted wall sign on a flat white wall on the top floor of a low-rise building. A list of decorating products is listed in French, and then the name of the business is painted in chunky blue seriffed letters with a yellow offset shade.

I love the font on this old sprinkler sign on Midland Street in Glasgow. It's functional, yet with just a touch of style to it.
