TO START OFF, I PURCHASED A TRAILER FULL OF SIGNS FROM A MAN. THE GUY WAS FROM OKLAHOMA, HIS GRANDFATHER HAD RECENTLY PASSED AWAY, AND THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING UP HIS PROPERTY. THEY HAD THE TRAILER STACKED FULL OF OLD CAT-EYE MARBLE SIGNS.... THEY WERE GOING TO HAUL TO SCRAP! I SAVED THEM THINKING SOMETHING COULD BE SALVAGED. IN THE PILE OF FOLDED UP METAL I CAME ACROSS A GOLD MINE OF SIGNS. THE GRANDFATHER HAD WORKED FOR THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT, AND HAD BEEN IN CHARGE OF REMOVING ALL OF THE OLD MARBLE SIGNS FROM HIGHWAY 71 AND ROUTE 66, HE HAD REMOVED THEM AND TOSSED THEM IN THE BACK OF HIS PROPERTY. SOME SIGNS I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THIS IS ONE OF TWO INDIAN SIGNS I HAVE . INDIAN SERVICE SIGN. SIGN MEASURES 18 X 33 1/4 HAS 113 AMETHYST MARBLE ONE IS MISSING. THIS SIGN HAS AWESOME PATINA, A LOT OF THE ORIGINAL PAINT REMAINS. THESE SIGNS WERE MADE BY A SIGN SHOP IN THE 30'S OR EARLY 40'S, AND DISTRIBUTED ALONG OKLAHOMA, ARKANSAS, AND MISSOURI. I HAVE TALKED TO A LOT MOTORCYCLE GUYS THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT T USED TO BE A INDIAN DEALER IN JOPLIN. DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF AMERICANA HISTORY. THANKS FOR LOOKING SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS.
