Patience has finely paid off. I know a guy that had two rare Fire Chief signs. I have let him know of my interest for the past twenty five years or so. He consigned one to an auction about a month ago. I went to the sale and bid on the sign but it went to a friend. A week after the sale I went to the guy and asked about the other sign he still had. Again I could not buy it. I decided to give up, not worth the frustration. Happen to run into the guy today and he threw me a price. Took a closer look and bought it. I guess this will be my Christmas present to myself for this year.

About twenty plus years ago a friend gave me a Fire Chief sign for Christmas that he had gotten from the Allen Morrison Sign Co. many years earlier. The sign he gave me is the one to the left in this picture. My new one is to the right.
