Tin Sign Info

The Mennen Company was started in 1878, at Newark, New Jersey, moving to Morristown, New Jersey in 1953, where it manufactured and sold many over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and personal products such as the Skin Bracer, Speed Stick (launched approximately 1954), and Baby Magic products. Lady Speed Stick was a foray into the women’s market, and was a huge success due to its shape, which fit a woman’s hand, and fragrances. Mennen was founded by Gerhard Heinrich Mennen, an immigrant from Germany, with his first product being talcum based powder, which was a real innovation at the time. His grandnephew, G. Mennen Williams, would go on to serve as Governor of Michigan from 1949-1961.

By Mennen was one of the most successful marketing slogans considering its simplicity. The associated jingle, written by Doug Katsaros, was notable for containing just three notes and ending each television commercial for Mennen products.

The company was led by several generations of the Mennen family before being sold to Colgate by the family in 1992. Today none of the Mennen family are involved in the company or its now parent.

I have been trying to come up with some pictures for my bathroom that are kind of cute. I found this reproduction tin sign that will look great in it.

This is a sport that you can not be affraid of heights. That leaves me out.Hang gliding is an air sport in which a pilot flies a light and unmotorized foot-launchable aircraft called a hang glider . Most modern hang gliders are made of an aluminium alloy or composite-framed fabric wing. The pilot is ensconced in a harness suspended from the airframe, and exercises control by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame, but other devices, including modern aircraft flight control systems, may be used. In the sport’s early days, pilots were restricted to gliding down small hills on low-performance hang gliders. However, modern technology gives pilots the ability to soar for hours, gain thousands of feet of altitude in thermal updrafts, perform aerobatics, and glide cross-country for hundreds of miles.

This license plate tag makes a great gift.

A volunteer fire department is a fire department composed of volunteers who perform fire suppression and other related emergency services for a local jurisdiction. According to the National Volunteer Fire Council, 73 percent of firefighters in the United States are members of VFDs.The Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) provides information, education and training for the volunteer fire and emergency medical services throughout New York State.Volunteer may also be used in reference to a group of part-time or on-call firefighters who may have other occupations when not engaged in occasional firefighting. An on-call firefighter would probably be expected to volunteer time for other non-emergency duties as well (training, fundraising, equipment maintenance, etc).

So if you know of volunteer fireman think about getting them this license plate tag for a gift.

Though the traditional view of billiards as a refined and noble pastime did not blend well with the low-class connotations of gambling, the billiards industry’s attempts to distance itself from the term “pool” beginning in the late 19th century were largely unsuccessful.

There are hundreds of pool games. Some of the more well known include eight-ball, nine-ball, straight pool, and one-pocket. The game of snooker is played on a table with pockets but is considered to be its own cue sport and is governed internationally by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (professional) and International Billiards and Snooker Federation (amateur). There are also hybrid games combining aspects of both pool and carom billiards, such as English billiards, American four-ball billiards, cowboy pool and bottle pool.

This pool hall break’em parking tin sign would look great in any man cave for fathers day.

A die  is a small polyhedral object, usually cubic, used for generating random numbers or other symbols. This makes dice suitable as gambling devices, especially for craps or sic bo, or for use in non-gambling tabletop games.

 Traditional die is a cube (often with corners slightly rounded), marked on each of its six faces with a different number. All of these pips have the same appearance within a set of dice, and are sized for ease of recognizing the pattern formed by the pips on a face. The design as a whole is aimed at each die providing one randomly determined integer, in the range from one to six, with each of those values being equally likely. There are also “loaded” or “crooked” dice, meant to produce skewed or even predictable results, for purposes of deception or amusement.

Rememberwhen some of us had fuzzy dice hanging from are rear view mirror, now you can have dice on your license plate sign.
