I can't get over how perfect this sign still is, it must be fairly new in terms of ghost signs. In fact, google tells me that this company still exists, though certainly not in this building any longer.

Ghost signs are intriguing remnants of any city's past, and the collection Seattle boasts is awesome. They provide tangible glimpses into another time and allow us to experience the past in the present. I am thoroughly enchanted by these signs, and with the help of local history and architectural resources I am slowly puzzling out some of the many stories associated with these early advertisements. I share what I've learned when possible, and often revisit these posts to include new information.
