| The Our Collection page features a tribute to trolley signs this time
around. Said signs - all cardboard - were prevalent as advertising pieces from around 1910 until the 1960s - mostly found on the inside of buses and, of course, trolley cars. The
earlier ones - which these represent - were 11 by 21 whereas later ones expanded to 11 by 28 (the 11-inch height was paramount as the display racks on both transports were designed for
the same height). We never really cared about these signs - except for the breweriana ones - until we had a triple hit of small stacks of these signs over a few month period. What
you see here is culled mostly from those finds. Of course, in the two years or so since, we've rarely encountered any others! The ones we've selected for display here are not necessarily
rare or valuable - it's the graphics themselves that grabbed our attention. We hope you find then as entertaining as we do!
