   No fooling, Bob. I just can't justify the expense of original signs.. They go for CRAZY dollars. I guess I don't quite get the disposable income that the buyers of these signs seem to have. In any case I still love looking at them. They are so much better than today's vinyl on plastic signs that won't even be around 50 years from now. (Hmm. maybe I need to make a bunch of signs and stash them away for my future??)

   Collectors are paying big money for these signs now, and they're getting ripped off by not even having the original wrought iron hangers included! Dave, have you ever seen any of these "sample signs" mentioned in this article?

   I saw a couple on eBay when I came across this article and they were commanding large dollars!
