These antique signs hang above replica storefronts. They belong to Jimmy Rane and are part of his effort to revitalize his hometown of Abbeville. Since 1996, Rane and his company "Great Southern Wood" have spent more than $1 million into local projects. Nearly every building downtown is filled with memorabilia that Rane has collected over the years. Huggin' Molly's restaurant opened downtown in 2006. It contains a replica soda fountain as well as more of Rane's collection. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
I have seen other Philco signs before but not like this one. For more, see this website. In Abbeville, this sign hangs above a simulated Philco TV and radio dealer. Buster Brown Shoes, Red Goose Shoes, and Poll Parrot Shoes were all mass-produced signs for shoe stores. Here in Abbeville, the Buster Brown sign hangs outside the simulated shoe store while the other two signs are in the display window. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. The Case Corporation has been producing farming equipment since 1831. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. All blue Rexall Drugs signs are much rarer than the orange and blue ones. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. United Motor Services was created in 1916 to handle sales for the United Motors Corporation, an accessories and parts manufacturer. They established service branches nationwide and later became part of General Motors. Here in Abbeville, this sign hangs above a false front garage that serves as a parking lot. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |
