Now here's a true southern icon. I had been wanting a Piggly Wiggly sign for a while and somehow I ended up with 4 of these. I just didn't realize exactly how big they were until I arrived to pick them up. 8' x 6' with 1' wide cans. I almost couldn't fit them all on my truck and trailer. Gotta love the pig! We still have a pig here in town!
Looking for gas,oil related clocks,especially neon and spinners .clock repair available. Mick

Hey DB, It's somewhat easy when you work for the railroad to get a signal mostly just a waiting game till something get's replaced.
I've donated several to local museums but we don't sell them, they are sometimes put aside for future use when one get's damaged but with the new Goverment mandate for Positive Train Control a.k.a PTC all the old ones have to be replaced and unfortunatley most if not all will go to scrap, sad but it's the way we've been doing it for 150 years I try to save what I can by donating some but most will be lost forever...
Bob.
Always looking for Frontier and Beeline items.

I don't usually do grocery store stuff, but when I got a call about this old Red Owl stores, porcelain sign, I just had to go after it!
Came from a small town here in North Dakota!
Last pic is all cleaned up and lined up!
