Colorful Tin signs were once a major advertising media, appearing in and on the outside of stores, and other places of business as well as fencepost in farm yards, barn walls and everywhere the public eye might catch them. Everything was advertised. From farm implements, to home remedies, to canning goods, home appliances and everything in between.

These metal signs are rarely seen now with the art of such signs replaced by often cold and impersonal neon and huge roadside billboards. Original metal signs are prized by collectors but as the originals are becoming scarce, reproductions are coming to fill the demand. They make great home decor and conversation pieces.

These sets save you money over individually priced signs.

Route 66 has held a special place in American history. Born On November 11, 1926, the 2,400-mile route began in Chicago and extended to Los Angeles, through the most romantic and celebrated portions of the American West. Route 66 defined a generation seeking adventure and freedom on the open road. The thousands of stories of hope, heartbreak, love, hate, starting over, and dreams born along the long, winding highway earned it the name "The Mother Road".
