This Sunday involved a wonderful tour around the workrooms of Noble Signs, which doubles as a museum. The founders started collecting the old signs they were replacing signs, then shifted to reclaiming and storing. They are now building the museum as a charity. They gave a tour today which was wonderful. They specislise in NY vernacular signs. A few photographs for you. I took many, i'll write several posts each with slightly different angles

“A former #milkbar in #Minyip. ‘When I see signage like this I feel compelled to document it. Hand-painted #typography has become more and more rare. There may be new #designs that replicate the look as a callback but the authentic innocence of an original sign hand-#painted by the local sign writer of the time is like a beautiful rare bird. It’s sad to think that one day all these #signs will be gone but at least we’ll have photos’”
