#SOZ019 - Rochelle Club Two Sided Fan Hanger Sign
Vintage 10 1/2" tall cardboard fan hanger sign. Has a hole punched in the top to tie a string on. Same picture on both sides. The other side is Ivory and blue colored. These date back to the time before air conditioners became widespread and ceiling fans were in almost every store and establishment. Fan Hangers were a common type of advertisement back then. They were tied to the string of a store ceiling fan, and flapped around from the fan movement drawing attention to the advertisement on them. These date to around the 1920s. Excellent unused condition. Found at the old Rochelle Club Beverage Corp. in Mt. Vernon, NY many years ago.

#SIGN019 - Onions Add Spring Flavor Store Sign - Green Version
Vintage color 14" wide cardboard store sign. Colorful picture of a couple of smiling onions. Says "New Onions add Spring Flavor Magic". These are from the 1950s. The blank part of the sign on the right is where they wrote the prices. They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's. The store got signs with their deliveries and threw them in piles in the basement. One of our long time customers rescued these (thank's Bob) and a number of others. These are in excellent condition. Of note, magazine ads for Florida Citrus products from the 1950s retail for $8 - $10. These should retail for more.

#SIGN003 - Double Sided Florida Oranges Sunshine Sign - Anita Bryant
Fantastic vintage full color 17" tall two-sided paper sign with a guy taking pictures of a cute girl with an orange. The girl is Anita Bryant who was 19 at the time and was runner up in the Miss America pageant that year. She had a number of popular songs and movies right after that and became the spokesperson for Florida Oranges n 1969. She came back into the public eye in the mid 1970s with her controversial views on homosexuality. These signs are from very early in her career. Reverse pictures a period golf course in Florida with more advertising for oranges. They are actually two separate signs that are joined at the top and were meant to hang over a wire or string. They can easily be cut apart and sold separately. These are super colorful and fantastic. Pictures don't do them justice. They would be great framed in a kitchen. They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's. They got signs with their deliveries and threw them in piles in the basement. One of our long time customers rescued these (thank's Bob) and a number of others. They were never used, and are in excellent condition except for very minor aging or slight creases across the top. They are from 1959 (some of the materials with them were dated). We will roll them for shipping.

They are actually two separate signs that are joined at the top and were meant to hang over a wire or string. They can easily be cut apart and sold separately. These are super colorful and fantastic. Pictures don't do them justice. They would be great framed in a kitchen. They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's.
