Old Watch Signs still in use

I saw this great old sign walking through downtown Detroit on the way to the Lions Game.



I just had to take a shot, the store was opened in the 1940's! I think it looks great and I enjoy the historic touches a real old city possesses.

Anyone else have some Old time signs and in store displays? Not the print ad's, they are everywhere, the pictures of old signs seem to be fewer and further in-between.

Oh - right up my alley! Love old neon signs! Thanks for posting the pics. So glad businesses understand how COOL those are, and that there's no need to "update" things.
