Re: Antique London Glass Piece

so many questions spring to mind about the gilded lettering, like how the heck did they get all those shades and layers??

does it really say 'the nurses brand of bottled beers'?

Re: Elaborate Victorian Style Mirror

Hey Dave, where can I buy the machine that did all that and where do I get the paints to make it all shiney as well??

I hope to make the Titanic meet as well so maybe you could teach us all you know in an hour or two, right?

Re: a few shorpy picture finds

Dan, that is some find!

Looks like it might have been done off site as the top panels in the center aren't lining up.

That sign shop could have real proud of work like that!

a few shorpy picture finds

I shared some of these shots with another signwriter friend of mine and his reply really captured my own thoughts. What a time to be signwriter! Be sure to click on the full size view as the details of these pictures are incredible. http://www.shorpy.com/node/7136 http://www.shorpy.com/node/7039 htt...

Re: Titanic Letterheads 2012

Love to know if this is still going to go ahead as I have a sister in Belfast which makes accommodation no problem.
