So nice to see a fading image of the past.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the past is slowly fading away but still present. Nice shot Andy.
ReplyDeleteThese signs are the best, I can just imagine it all brightly colored in it's heyday.
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
ReplyDeleteNice Ghost sign you found there
ReplyDeleteI see these faded ghosts of signs in small towns sometimes and it makes me stop breathing for just a second.
ReplyDeleteLove this ghost sign, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI like to see these old fading signs. Whispers from the past.
ReplyDeleteVery cool sign..even if it is ghosting away.
ReplyDeleteI love these ghost signs. It makes one feel connected with the city's/town's history.
ReplyDeleteNice, it somehow suits the building as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, Andy! I wonder if there is still plug tobacco around?
ReplyDeleteYou found a great one Andy. I have never heard of Shamrock. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa chewed Red Man Tobacco. What havoc that name would cause nowadays!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful ghost sign. Envious. But appreciative of your sharing.
ReplyDeleteI always like those ghost signs. Even though they're fading, they still seem to endure.
ReplyDeleteNice catch! It seems the best I've seen are for tobacco. I wonder why...
ReplyDeleteThose old building signs are so cool, but I fear they are disappearing fast, never to return.
ReplyDeleteNice ghost sign. I forget to look for them in New England. They are less common in Florida, because everything down there is so new.
ReplyDeleteYou have to love ghost signs. By all rights they should have been obliterated by now; yet they persist. A little present from the past.
ReplyDeleteLove these old, ghost signs. How times have changed. Plug tobacco is not socially acceptable these days, and even tobacco advertising is banned.
ReplyDeleteNice find. I've never heard of Shamrock, but then I'm not that familiar with plug tobacco!
