Faded Ad Art Across the USA


In Colorado: we suspect the sign across the top is touched up, but original.


And just around the corner, by Denver's Union Station, (which is a beautiful structure by itself),
zoom in to see some true ghost signs:


Somewhere in Utah:



And in Ely, Nevada:



Let's get a close up on this one:


Not a ghost sign, and not even faded, but I liked this enough to include it:

Across the Nation


We start our mailbag tour in Wausa, Nebraska, courtesy of Mr. F. Jesse.
(We're interested in the Cook Paint sign, mostly)


Our next two come from Ms. D. Walz in Lincoln, NE. 


She says they are near 7th and N.




Also from Lincoln, NE, via Ms. Walz.


And Ms. Walz found this in Aurora, IL.


The next stop is New York, New York.


These are courtesy of Mr. B. Johnson, from his latest visit to the Big Apple.


Fantastic!

Finally, we close with a Facebook video link, courtesy of Ms. C. Storer Haney, in Salinda, CO.
Salinda, we're coming to visit, someday!

The first three are from Denver, CO, courtesy of Ms. D. Ames.


Found in Seward, NE, and shared by Mr. C. Schweer.




And I'm afraid we've forgotten who sent these to us, and where they are from.

Touched Up


Ms. D. Walz found these in Fort Collins, Colorado, and suggested they may be new.
The good folk at Ghost Signs say it has been touched up, and have the documents to prove it.


This one, however, is a mystery.

Sent to us from Ms. D. Ames.
On Wazee, near Coors Field.


And on the back of the building.

Firstly, we have this from Ms. S. Fleming, who reports it is on the side of the oldest bar in Florida, on Amelia Island.
(And it's a two-fer, because there's a very faded sign on the front, to the left, above the awning.)

And secondly, Ms. D. Ames sent us this link, which, coincidentally, is about a Coca-Cola sign that will be preserved.
Please note how they refer to it as "art".

From the Mailbox


Another from Trinidad, CO, courtesy of Ms. L. Cicotello.

We've been promised another Colorado sign, from another Coloradoan, and hopefully, that will arrive soon.

Where is This From?


Good question!

Sent to us by Ms. L. Cicotello, during her recent drive through Trinidad, Colorado.
