During the steel industry boom, during the early 1900’s, metal was the preferred choice for mass-produced signs.

During WWII every bit of metal was needed for the war effort and production of metal signs was banned. Due to the war, major advancements were made with the invention of lightweight and durable plastics and vinyl.

These new signs replaced tin signs from the 1950’s on. Today the signs have become highly collectible and reproductions of the signs are now being produced.

These signs are reproductions of garden signs that were produced to promote roses.
