Vintage Trolley Car Sign Collection (42) Including Nabisco, Ivory Soap, Heinz, RCA Victor, and Anheuser-Busch
<p>Vintage 1920s-era trolley car sign collection, featuring many well known brands and products. These colorful signs have always been extremely popular with collectors because their small size (each approximately 21x11") makes them perfect for display on kitchen walls or in a office. It is interesting to note that since these signs date from the period of Prohibition in the United States, all of Anheuser-Busch's drinks featured in this collection are non-alcoholic. Nearly all the signs display moderate-to-heavy wear, which includes, but is not limited to, tack holes, tears, creases, and water staining. Condition ranges from Poor to Good, averaging Fair. (Many would be prime candidates for professional restoration.) Seven of the signs have been matted, and those are closer to Excellent in their overall appearance, since the matting hides many of the aforementioned flaws. A few duplicates are included. The collection consists of the following:</p><p><strong>Matted Signs (7):</strong> Gulden's Mustard Salad Dressing, Victor Record ("C'est Vous"), Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser Bush Pale Dry Ginger Ale), Victor Record ("Colonel Lindbergh"), Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser Real Hop Malt Syrup), Necco Wafers, and Baby Ruth.</p><p><strong>Un-Matted Signs (35):</strong> Baby Ruth, Ridgeways Tea, G. Washington's Coffee (two; each the same), LaTouraine Coffee, Budweiser (Bush Pale Dry Ginger Ale), Victor Records ("Among My Souvenirs"), Victor Records ("My Blue Heaven"), Naborhood Grocers (two different examples), National Biscuit Company (Lorna Doone Shortbread), National Biscuit Company (Soda Crackers), National Biscuit Company (National Zwieback"), Oakite, Borden's Evaporated Milk, Kirkman's Soap, Iodent Tooth Paste, Sun-Maid Raisins, Del Monte Peaches, Goodyear Wingfoot Soles, Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser Real Hop Malt Syrup), Royal Baking Powder, Aratex Collars, Ivory Soap (two different examples), Old Gold Cigarettes, Heinz Olive Oil, Heinz Rice Flakes, Heinz Pure Cider Vinegar, Heinz Cooked Spaghetti, Heinz Peanut Butter, Heinz Chow Chow Pickle, Campbell's Tomato Soup (two different examples), and Campbell's Vegetable Soup. </p>
