Found this one at the local Southern States farm store.  They also have one with shotgun shells, but I liked this one better.

We have both stores, and I don't recall seeing these at the TSC.  The ones I saw there were the tractor brands; Deere, McCormick etc.

Hey!! Those are cool!!!! Gotta get me one of those for my room. Here is an original that hung from my grandfathers store that was on the same property as the house i grew up in...About five years ago i thought about it and went by to see if it was still there and the folks that now own the old place let me take it down and have it.I wonder if the ones you show can be found on the net?? Definatley have to get one!!! :) :) :)

Cold beer - 10 cents!   :o   Ahhh... the good old days.  Kinda reminds me of 30 cents a gallon gasoline.   ::)

I've been trying to find an old antique one.  You know; those huge ones that were Mail Pouch tobacco, etc.  Those things are expensive though.

I had a Colt 45 neon sign once.  Got broken while moving.   :'(

I remember cigarettes for 30 cents a pack too.  A TV commercial once said, "Doctors recomend Newport cigarettes"!   :o
