Ghost Signs of Pittsburgh, Part Three


Three, maybe four, in one shot. Can you spot them all?



This one is so far gone, without the zoom, it's easy to miss.



All of these were along Third Street.
Checking on Google Street View, I regret not going down Fourth Street while we were there.

Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco

 


Please enjoy these Mail Pouch Tobacco signs spotted from the Pennsylvania Turnpike during a recent vacation.
The top one is (obviously) restored. The bottom one appears to be an original.


There was another around 131 mile marker, but we were unable to get a photo.
Our thanks to Mr. B. Johnson for getting this one.

You can find out if there's a Mail Pouch Tobacco sign near you.
