Here's a marquee for Food IGA. The initials 'IGA' stands for "Independent
Grocers Association," a chain of independently owned supermarkets
which can range from a simple mom-and-pop operation, to large mega-stores
offering fresh seafood and cafeteria-style restaurants.
Many thanks to William Blankenship for info.

Here's a nice vintage sign located in downtown Detroit for the Simmons
and Clark Jewelers. Featuring Bulova watches.
UPDATE 01/07 : The Simmons and Clark sign disappeared sometime over the summer of 206. The sign was in great condition. What is also nice was that the facade of the store is completely art deco, unchanged, and also in perfect condition. The store still appeared to be in business. Many thanks to Richard Weiss for update. 1-07

Midline Exterminators is a fantastic marquee featuring both mid-century
colors and a clock (not sure if its working) to boot.
Inskeep Bros. Printers features a marquee with a working clock
on it, reminiscent of the 70's. This business is found in Columbus, Ohio.

The marquee sitting outside the Richard Bennett Furniture store features a marquee that's a flashback to the old days where colors
and size made a difference between a sale and an empty register. Here's a shot of its ghost sign as well.
