Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion New guy with another question I.H.42" sign

I have always wondered about this sign , I don't get the wording Motor Truck Service , it makes no since to me but Truck Motor Service doe's. It could be a dumb question on my part but I don't understand it . The sign is porcelain and marked Walker and Co. Detroit , also what would be the time frame when this was used .Thanks for the help and Thanks to everyone yesterday for the welcome and thanks for the company History on the Westcott Sign I think that came from Rabbitman. Merry Christmas Peter

It is simply old terminology. Remember when Automobiles were called " Motor Cars." ?

When you put it that way it finally makes sense. Thanks Ed

WOW, what else you got hiding in your collection. Great items so far.

Thanks I've got a few things but after watching some of these recent auctions , my collection is pretty pitiful .

Remember: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, Grasshopper." The Grandest Collection started with the first purchase. Merry Christmas.

So true words there Ed. Looks like quality for sure.

Wow, I like to see some more pictures of your garage and collection !

Here's another early IH sign that has Motor Trucks on it.

Great Sign , thanks for the picture . What time period were these signs used? 1940s maybe. Peter
