the best one i've seen so far was the "amateur boxing" sign above a bed in one of the small cool entries.

WANT.

Yesss that was the first thing that came to mind. I really loved the 'amateur boxing' sign.

hey.. we have a place here in savannah that has so many beautiful vintage signs.. and for not too tooooo much...
if anyone is looking i have lots of photos and am willing to do the shipping leg work!! yup.. i am canadian! haha
take care and i am serious

I have the best huge vintage sign I bought at that big Paris flea market like 9 years ago... It came in a number of pieces. I don't speak French, so I thought it said "Bea Uses Our Service"... instead it said "Beausejour Service"... Beausejour means "Its a beautiful day" and it is a town near Paris. I keep it as Bea Uses Our Service... and it always makes me laugh.

Hey Daily,
What store in Savannah? I also live in Savannah!!

I love vintage signs, can't wait to find my own.

Similar ideas -- vintage boxcar stencil and a non-vintage street sign.

The photos (and apartments) shown here are certainly handsome and stylish, but I can't remember a time in the past thirty years when vintage signs weren't a design trend.

I've been using them as long as I've been decorating rooms. Central to my current display of recontextualized signs is the black & white wooden campground sign ("Swimming - Picnics - Outings") that a teenaged me bought 20 years ago in a junk store.

Not vintage, but I found these retro inspired metal wall art items. He has kitchen, bar/lounge, clocks:

Clocks for sale (there's a link to the sold page here too):

I had problems using the interactive menu on the home page, but there are pop-up menus on most pages with a "go" button link.

Just a little box with arrow and a "go" button, so you can get around to all the categories (if you have problems on his homepage). Other categories too, like pet memorial or shelving.

It appears he can make whatever you want. See something on the sold page that you have to have, but want a different color? He can do that.

Need it bigger? He can do that. Smaller? He can do that. Since he can do logos and put in names, you could probably have anything you can dream up.

Here's the good part...the items are not scary expensive. This 9" x 12" Cocktails sign is $89.00:

I know these items are a very different style that what is shown in this Vintage Signs blog post, but if he can make whatever you want, you could have something made that looks vintage. Also, I know some people LOVE retro, so these items would be right up their alley.

how about a british launderette sign...
