 Topic: New to me SIGN
Posted: 05 May 2011 at 8:01pm |
Well here is another OLD Porcelain sign I just got that came from 12 miles away .It was in the York Pa .Allis Chalmers Turbine Plant .Got it from a guy that still works there .They where taking the old boiler room out (tearing it down )and found it in there just last week .He talked to another older man that worked there when it was sent in from Milwaukee .Its too big to stand up but I think it looks good on the wall this way .I am hoping to have the show room all set up until the 21 st of this month.

I told you the Showroom was not big enough! I'm pretty sure the boys can raise the ceiling between the 1st & 2nd trusses so you can hang the sign properly, & heaven knows you have plenty of lights. I will even paint that for free.
Charlie, haven't you figgured out he's not hanging the sign so he does not have to spring for steaks?? Last I heard it was to be on Saturday, guess I will have to find somewhere else to eat now...Harvey

The sign was part of the ceiling and they cut 8 1/2 inch's off that panel for a beam that ran across.Lucky that they only cut the blue off .The guy that got the sign out of the room said the face was painted with white paint .Said it cost him more for paint remover to clean the sign then he paid for the sign .You can not tell it was painted over.The holes in the sign are from where they hung it to ceiling and ran electric wires through and hund a light on it for the room .
Harvey ,you need to pay attention !,bet you remeber when Chuck and Terri are coming down for the week end !!!
