This sign says Schleicher & Sons - Player Pianos - High Grade. Schliecher & Sons was founded in 1866 and went bankrupt in 1914, so this has been a "ghost sign" for more than 100 years.

Wallet Card in Stamford, CT
Last week I had to go to Stamford, CT for work. Stamford is a small city about an hour away from NYC. I was able to take photos of a couple of great old signs while I was there. These two buildings are actually diagonally across from each other on Pacific Street.

Less is known about South End Cash Grocery, but it appears to have operated in the 1910s as well. There is also a sign for Gold Medal Flour here, in better shape than the one on Long Island I showed last year.

That's a well-traveled wallet card, eh?
ReplyDeleteThat ghost sign sure looks good for it's age!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the Schleicher & Sons signage had held up so well. My cousin works in Stamford but I've never been anywhere in town except to shop at the mall a while back.
