Do you remember if the shop was on the main drag through town? I'd like to hunt down that sign!!

Intersection of Hwy 23 and hwy 62, it is an antiques store. When I passed by, the Gold Medal sign was outside next to the front entrance. The ice cream parlor signs were inside the shop in 2 locations, hanging on the walls. Bring cash, I seem to remember prices on all three signs of around $150. Perhaps if you buy them all he will give a little discount. Don't know.

Those sound like nice pieces! You have much more restraint with your purchases than I do Junior! Not that I could justify or afford them, but still I would have tried!

Oh, I wanted to buy the stuff, but the wife would not like it. The library/computer room already looks like a museum, and if the desktop were in another room she would never go in there. She tolerates the room but that is about all..the SDC signs would be too much for her and I would never hear the end of it. Ha!
