The Nutini's Supper Club sign is probably from the 1950s. It is lit at night. For more, see this website.
I believe the Gust Asp Butcher Shop has been around since the 1930s. The neon sign text alternates between "Just Ask" and "Gust Asp", the original owner's name. For more, see this website. The House of Ludington hotel has been around since the late 1800s. This sign has been here since at least the 1940s. For more, see this website. |

Olkie's Bar Ironwood, MI |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The Royal Motel sign is probably from the 1950s or 1960s.
Olkie's Bar sign only has neon on one side. The "Olkie's" text appears to cover up the bar's previous name. Does anyone know the original name? |
| Cedarville Inn Cedarville, MI |
Les Cheneaux Motel Cedarville, MI |
Skyline Motel Sault Ste. Marie, MI |
Longships Motel Sault Ste. Marie, MI |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
I believe the Cedarville Inn opened in 1981.
The Les Cheneaux Motel was built as the Richcreek Motel. The 1950s looking sign was adapted for the name change. It is lit at night. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. The Skyline Motel sign has been here since at least the 1960s. There used to be a ball above the sign. It is lit at night. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. The Longships Motel sign had a bigger tack-on, wooden ship in 2010. This photo is from 2011. Obviously, the sign was advertised for another motel originally. Does anyone know what the name was? This sign is lit at night. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |

| Vic's Cabins Calumet, MI |
Buckhorn Bar Mass City, MI |
Mosquito Inn Toivola, MI |
 |
 |
 |

The Vic's Cabins sign is probably from the 1950s. There was apparently some text between "Vic's" and "Cabins" originally.
The Buckhorn Bar sign looks like a recent restoration. It may have had another name previously. The sign is lit at night. The Mosquito Inn has been here since at least 1943. The sign is lit at night. |
| Bunny Bread Marquette, MI |
Big John Iron Mountain, MI |
||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
This Bunny Bread sign was built around 1955 and installed at a Bunny Bread plant in Marquette. The sign is about 15 feet tall. When the bakery closed in 1991, the sign was removed and put in storage at a sign shop. In 1996, the sign was moved to the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum where it was integrated into the design of the building's entrance. The bunny head is still the original colors but the neon was removed. It is now lit with blue Christmas lights. There was a similar sign in Anna, IL that is now in a private collection.
Big John is a 40 foot tall wooden sign that stands in front of the Iron Mountain Iron Mine. The sign was built in the early 1960s and it has been repainted six or seven times since then. Around 1999, the sign was "redone" with marine plywood to prevent it from peeling. The Iron Mountain Mine features mine tours and a gift/rock shop. For more, see this website. |
| Branham's Jewelry East Tawas, MI |
Klich Tool & Die Company Midland, MI |
 |
 |
|
Branham's Jewelry opened in 1959. This sign appears older than that and may have been adapted from a previous jewelry store. The bottom part of the sign previously read "Watch Repair".
This sign is installed on the building of the Klich Tool & Die Company. It appears to be from the 1930s. |
| Club 27 Bar Cheboygan, MI |
Quality Restaurant Sandusky, MI |
 |
 |
|
The Club 27 Bar sign is probably from the 1940s or 1950s. It might have gone by a different name originally. It is lit at night.
The Quality Restaurant is gone but this sign remains. It appears to be from the 1940s. The letters are embossed. The neon tubing has been removed. |
