Collectors need to take good care of their things. If you amass vintage signs, know how to care properly for your items to maintain their value and beauty. Vintage signs are usually made of tin, a metal that is prone to rust. The delicate painted designs can be easily scratched or chipped. Keep your vintage signs free from damage by following these simple tips:

1. Take them to a professional restoration center if there is already some rust buildup. Avoid using common household cleaners and scrubbing agents yourself.
2. Keep your signs in a warm dry place away from doors and windows where drafts cannot reach them. If possible, place vintage signs near a heating unit to help minimize chances of mold and oxidation.
3.  When dusting, only use a soft dry cloth or feather duster. Dust once a week to prevent dirt buildup.
4. Clean only when really needed because water can damage the paint and causes rust buildup. If absolutely necessary, use only a soft sponge or cloth to gently rinse the surface with warm water and regular dish soap. Never scrub the surface and let dry completely after.
5. Protect the surface of your signs with a spray on furniture polish type wax that you won’t have to rub in. Retouch regularly to keep your collectibles clean and dust free.
6. Store vintage signs in bubble wraps or enfold in pieces of newspaper. Place in a warm and dry location to prevent oxidation over time.

auto and motorcycle tin signs

I sometimes don’t like this time of year because of trying to find the right gifts for people. It seems like everything I think of they already have or some one has gotten for them.

Then it came to me what to do. First start looking earlier, and remember it’s about the time when we can all be together. Yes I did figure out what to get my husband an American Chopper motorcycle sign. My husband and son can hang it up in family room were there always watching there American chopper show. To them it’s there man-cave not the family room.

My husband is a fireman. Sometimes when the tones go off I dread what kind of call he’s going on. Like Sunday night,  we just sat down to dinner when the tones went off for a accident which was a roll over. They never seem to happen at a good time.

Then I got to looking at the plaque on the wall in our hall way with the fireman’s prayer. Then I thought of the fireman’s  window sun catcher. It made me remember why he does what he does and how many lives he’s touched during his career.
