Got most of my tin signs up in the new office. Neighbors in the office park are not quite sure what goes on in here and frankly, so am I.

Very nice,I admire the fact that they are for the most part,not to often seen. I don't know that I could go home at night with just faith that they would be their come morning.

Very nice collection! If that were my office, I wouldn't be getting any work done. I'd be day dreaming all day long....look at a sign and lose myself into it.

Wow...you have some really nice early signs! Do your clients walk in and think they came to the wrong place?

Thanks for all the positive comments. I've tried hard to get a wide variety without too many of one company (never enough perfect circle signs) I have an alarm, insurance and offsite monitoring. I do keep the doors locked during the day because I really don't have clients on site. Yes, I often find myself staring at the walls. If anyone has an old tin sign for me to add please let me know.

Well done! I know it took a lot of time and effort to assemble on the walls. I know we all enjoy our collections individually but the greater joy is in sharing with those who have a similar interest.....and re-living/re-telling the historical and acquisition stories to a newcomer who shows an interest. Nobody can have it all and there is no such thing as ownership so opening the doors, such as you have, allows all of us to commune your pride and enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing. I lost 95% of my collection in a fire in 2000. There was a lot of history in that old barn. A personal crisis but a loss to all. Wish I had had more open houses.

Greg;
That looks great. Do you have your rocker cans in the office?
Tell me you didn't sell the Santa Clause Land stuff. Maybe on one of the other walls. This old Indiana boy loved that stuff too.

Thanks, I'm trying to get them all but never will. Gotta have something to chase. Chuck, I still have all the Santa stuff, rockers and porcelain signs. Hope to get them up by the end of the year.
Any oldgassers passing through Indy are welcome to stop by. Just call or email first so I know you're coming.
