Today at Our Antique Mall Booth

John and I have spent the week cutting and framing a destination scroll from a 1928 London Transit bus.  In the 20s, London was recovering from WorldWar I.  Cars and trucks were still considered a somewhat new form of transportation.  

Today John hung the framed numbers in our little room at the antique mall. Regular readers will understand how difficult it was for me to part with these graphically wonderful pieces. We sold five others before we even had these hung. I am quite in love with these train, bus and subway signs. They have been showing up in decorating magazines with increasing regularity. 

Last week we added these other British bus destination signs.

Below are a few views of our room at the Brothers' Antique Mall on Rte 3 in Medina OH.

I may be late to discover the blog In My House. I have really enjoyed looking at the flamboyant photos of this (maybe Danish?) blog. The blogger also likes the vinatge destination signs.

And other signs, too:

It is an absolutely glorious day here in Northeastern Ohio.  I am going outside!

I LOVE these! You must have the best looking booth in that mall! Say...you don't happen to have a number 3 in there, do you? :-)

Since I have been in Bus Transportation for iver 26 years, I love those signs. I love to see how you have displayed them. Cool!

The transportation signs are cool. I wonder if the original creators of them, the people who designed the number ones or the destination ones had any idea they'd be art for walls some day. That's pretty wild, we just have no idea what people in the future will be hanging up as art on their walls...
Love the tour of your booth too, it looks very full and inviting for a closer look.

I agree with Judi. You guys put a lot of hard work in making your booth stand out, and it works. Your displays are very eye-catching, and it's very attractive to customers.
