I do love the signs more than anything else. The smalls, paper, trays, etc. are all very cool. But I'm a sign guy through and through.
Finally having some wintry weather here in Michigan. Too nasty to go outside, so I'm tinkering with my camera a little. Hope you enjoy the pic.

Dang Dave, you've been very busy! Looks awesome!
What a amazing collection and displayed so well . A Museum in your house .
Thanks for the kind words Mani! I'm not sure really how all of this happened... :0)
Perry, I've slowed down considerably! You know how it is... ;0)
Very nice display and well organized
Looks awesome Dave, you have the best eye for the" good stuff", and have put together a world-class collection in record time!!
The B-I-N King reigns on!!!
Thanks Bernie! A few Canadian Beauties mixed in. Built on eBay BINs to be sure. These days, you need a king's ransom to buy it now. Still a few good deals to be had, but fewer than years previous it seems. Always good to hear from you pickr.
Thank you Tom. There's a 1942 at the end of the room, to the right.
Fantastic display of a great collection!
Much appreciated racer!

Love old signs!
Me too Robin, thanks!
Thanks Chad, lots of work yes but lots of fun too (as you well know!).

This. Is. Awesome. Gives something for us young guys to shoot for!
Thanks JPSII.
That's an awesome view. Nice collection shot.
Thank you robeo!!!
Beautiful area:) this is definitely a room I could love. I have been looking for a big delicious and refreshing sign but they are all ridiculously priced, what's a reasonable price for one?
Excellent condition, 1250 - 1500 is reasonable these days.
...and thank you III!
Dave, I need a little help setting up my room, got any free time? :-)
Anytime Kerry! Let me see... we'll need a lot of display cabinets. Some beer.
LOL have both, what flavor of barley pop? :-)
Dont see any Coca Cola Sprite Boy in there ? How come ?
Uh-oh, my deep dark secret is revealed. I hate Sprite Boy!!!
I knew it......hehehheeh........I'll be sure to let him know.......
Simply AMAZING! I wonder if I won the powerball, could I purchase your home completely furnished and as is? ;-)
Thanks CK-04. And yes. :0)
Wonderful collection!
Thanks for saying so Bob, appreciated.
Nice panaramic shot of your wonderful collection. I can look a Coca Cola signs all day long. You have some great one's for sure.
And you've got some great ones to look at all day, that's for sure. Thanks Coke1234.
I have a question about your fishtail sign above your cigar thermometer. Did they make repos of those and if so how do you spot the originals from reproductions?
Yes they do and they're easy to identify. The repros have the circle R only to the lower right of the logo. The authentic 50's-60's arciform signs will have trademark detail under the logo, either Trademark w/circle R or Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Most authentic fishtails will have the sign maker detail as well (M.C.A, Robertson, A-M are makers printed on mine). Here are current examples of repros out on the eBay:

Awesome sign collection! What a dream!
Cokes killer graphics are a marketers dream! I love the signs and colors but prefer Diet Pepsi to drink.
Thanks Rattletrap. I don't mind a fountain Diet Pepsi once in awhile! I think it one ups Coke Zero.
Got any Pepsi signs ????
LOL oh no the "P" word!!!
