Lansing is.. er was home to Capitol Furs. This sign went to a private collector when the place closed in '05 or '06. Until than it was a complete unaltered 1940's or 1950's era storefront. 03-07
Here's the Kowalski faded sign from 1995. This business has been around since 1920.
The Wolf family operated this bakery called Wolf's Bakery for close to 50 years. In 1999, the Wolfs retired and the business was sold. The neon was removed and the sign was sprayed over with primer. I was crushed to see this sign go. My grandmother worked there in the 70's. Days later and to my amazement the original base color of yellow and maroon had reappeared. The baker outline was repainted and a few days later the lettering was masked off and repainted in its original form. All the light bulb sockets were repaired or replaced. What a pleasure it was to see this sign restored when so many are being torn down. 04-07
Located 6 blocks west of Wolf's Bakery is Naples Bakery, which was formerly located at 69th and Paulina in Chicago. Naples moved to Evergreen Park in the 1950's. There are two neon script signs that grace the facade o the building. During the holiday season, a neon sign hangs in the front window that reads Merry Christmas - Happy New Year. 04-07
Federal Sign Company built this sign for the Wiegel and Kilgallen Realtors many years ago. It's just begging to be repaired. Only the last three letters in each name light up. 04-07
This giant rooftop sign is atop the Hostess Bakery building in Detroit, MI. 04-07

the gem is the 1964 Bonneville, posing under this Kmart sign in Commerce. Look for this roadside treasure (the Bonneville) to be in an upcoming Will Ferrell movie soon.
