Good to know, Thanks Erik!

My hand aches just looking at this post! From my experience using Coreldraw over the past 15 years, you do indeed end up with a ton of nodes on the offset contour lines. I have spent many days just focused on reducing the node count on lot of Coreldraw layouts. When you are in node mode, there is a ...

What do you mean?, no longer in business...why just the other day I went to the Esoteric Sign Supply site. http://www.esotericsignsupply.com/contact.html Yep, the contact page is still up. Most of the links are dead. The "Home" heading at the top redirects you to the new "Rich Engravi...

Pat, Good to know you are feeling better. Went looking for some more information on the Hamilton Wood Type Museum and came across their website. I was under the impression that they did not have a website as of yet. Looks like it has been around for a while. Check it out, it quite nice and shows how...

A few months back I noticed this reverse glass saloon sign in my collection. Thanks to my advanced age and a failing memory...I do not remember where or when I got this. The frame was coming apart, and there were no framing points holding the cardboard backing to the frame. Well I re-glued the frame...

A couple of old (or are they?) Hamilton Type Lithograph Promotional Posters.

A small sampling of photos of the displays and equipment used to produce wood type.

These photos don't do justice in showing off the place.

Here is the entrance to the Hamilton Type Museum. And if you don't turn left, you drive into the building down at the far end.

When I went to tour the Hamilton Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin (which is about 50 miles north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin), I got lucky finding it. Seems that on that particular day there was some Art Fair a goin' on in downtown Two Rivers, and the Main Street running through town (and the fair) ...

Ingrid, the picture is rather deceiving. It looks like the flat stone monument is larger than the boulder in the background. When in fact it is just the opposite. The boulder is larger that the flat stone monument. I will try to post another photo in another month or two. But for now you will have t...

Hi Aaron, Nice Work! You might want to try using clear slow size next time or a mixture of clear slow size and clear fast size for your matte centers. The Tattoo letters look big enough for you to have used a triple line mask for applying the black outline and the matte varnish without having to rel...

It might be...I don't remember what his building looks like.

Here's another hint...The building is from a movie that a few of the users of this site are familiar with.

Now use your "Good Eye" and see if you can figure it out.

Al, I sent you an email with some information.

RMN

Yes, the photo is bad for enlarging...I planned it that way.

Brass Tablets....Nooooo.

These are not Brass or Bronze...They're Glass!

And No...not Kansas City or Dillinger.

Here's another hint...try looking at it with your "good eye".

Yes, its a bank building. And "no" you're not nutz. And I do not think Rick had anything to do with it. The Bank was organized in 1919, and it's building erected in 1924. Signs were ordered. And once received...placed on either sides of the main entrance doors. Where they remain to this da...

Nice Find! Do you get to keep them? I suspect not...but had to ask.

Oh yeah, that Reliance is really nice.

A great example of crushed tin foil backing...if that's what it is.

Can you imagine what these would go for on the open market?!

RMN

OK, so a while back I see this photo of a building.

I see something in the photo.

No Way!

Way!

This Building, and the firm in it are still in business.

Can anyone see what I see in the photo?

Hey Doug,

I posted that link back in March....Glad to see you and Peter are finally coming out of hibernation.

Whats the current going rate for Glass Chipping Glue? Someone wants to sell me over 100 lbs. of the stuff. Wants me to pay for it by the pound. I was given a good price (I think)...but want to know what the current market price per pound is. Or what some of the chippers on this here site are paying....

Greetings Fellow Letterheads.... I have been asked to help a friend move to New York City. And I figured as long as I am there, I would do some site seeing. I would like to limit the Site Seeing to Sign Related Matters. So I ask of you all what is there to see and do in New York City when it comes t...

Nice to see a color photo from the year 1906...Check out the billboard.

Doug, just send me an email...and we can work out the details.
