Just wondering what everyone's favorite tire signs are? When I first started collecting I of course went for the Firestones. To me Goodyear has never been particularly attractive, and really Firestone isn't either.
Does anyone appreciate the Remington and Gillette tire signs? The "bear for wear" signs are always neat and I have had a few of the rectangular Gilette signs with the tire in the R.

Gillette with the bear, Fisk, currently looking for Dayton but not top of my list,as funds are limited here. Firestone should be my 1st choice as I worked in their tire factory for 34 years. But how hard is it to get a firestone sign. Half the fun is in the hunt right.

Lloyd it must have been excellent to work for a great American company for so long? I hope you got to retire and there wasn't a layoff situation?
Dave a very awesom unique piece!

Thanks, it now belongs to an infamous Old Gasser. Here's what it looked like before a full day of careful wet sanding.

I'm sure careful is an understatement!
Excellent tire display Bob!
I know a friend who has a Remington one that I'm considering picking up, not sure yet though.
