L. Pini & Sons

Another Hoboken sign, and the gold (or silver) standard. L. Pini & Sons gives you a lot to love. Not only do they have amazing old school metal lettering, but went all the way with the custom painted sign above their door. My only complaint, and it is minor, is with the ampersand between Pini and Sons. It could be a bit bigger, but much like a Navajo blanket, there needs to be a small mistake, so you can see the magnificence of the entire work.



A close up look. I love the shortening of Contractors.

Hoboken Ghost Sign

This is a 'ghost' sign in Hoboken, that no one has ever removed or restored. It's amazing that someone hand painted this sign years ago, and that it still exists even though the store has long gone out of business. It's hard to see all of the wording in these pics, but the icons of the drafting supplies are so great.
