This is my second painted over sign... The Sinclair base is what I was really after as the owner told me grampa cut the steel from scrap.

My senses were all 'a flutter'...

Then....
That "Game Show" sound blasts in my head... 'Bo, Boop, Be, Doooo' (Price is Right...LOOSER sound)

I end up with a couple of local 40's signs

Oh well, guess I'll try to sell one and make my deal on the base even better.

Despite the crude modifications to the basic pole and hoop I believe the rest is original. The addition to the pole is for an American flag that flew in front of our local Western Auto Associate Store. I got the full history from the original owner.

Nice find.

Someone should do a thread on "Show us your repurposed signs"


Thanks

A couple of 40's is better than nothing and your half way there with the base. Sweet!

Mike M.------Someone should do a thread on "Show us your repurposed signs">>>>> Great idea

pickurt------A couple of 40's is better than nothing and your half way there with the base. Sweet!>>>>> agreed, I was complaining a bit... you got to know that I had visions of some really kicking signs before I got them turned around.

could anyone pass me any reference measurements so I can cross-check the pole and ring to determine if it's still stock under the mods? thanks
