Hi Don

That is my fireplace in our family room. The Flying A piece at the top is an original Porc sign. The Porcelain Saftey Check is the center part of a Veedol Saftey Check Lubrication sign. I didn't have room all in one place so I used the Veedol in one place, the saftey check in here and the Lubrication in another. We needed a way to keep the fireplace in this room, but not make it look too out of place. The wedding Cake is just something I made out of wood and fiberglass roofing material. Kinda hokey, but it turned out ok. The top is about 18' tall. Here is a shot of the whole fireplace.

Last sign I own. It's a painted steel tombstone. 28 inches high and 22 inches wide. Year unknown. Picked it up from a long time mechanic friend. He got into antique lighting and gas stuff doesn't even turn his head. Ted
