The Mygrant Music House store that was located in Kokomo is long gone. This sign is now installed at "A Summer Place", a private collection in Sharpsville. For more, see this website.
This Standard Oil sign is also located at "A Summer Place." I don't know where it was installed before this. Bo-Mac's Drive In opened in 1960. This sign appears to have been recently refurbished. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] This Masonic Lodge sign is probably from the 1950s. I've not seen one with this design before. The sign was not there in 2022 or 2023. It might be gone now. [map] |

This Mobilgas Pegasus sign is installed at Tony's Mobil Service. It appears to be a vintage sign not a reproduction. For more, see this website. [map] The Victory Bar signs were probably from the 1950s. They were gone by 2017. The Hickory Inn Budget Motel sign might have had more neon at one time. The plastic name box may indicate that it was originally named something else. This photo is from 2006. By 2011, the name had been changed to Relax Inn and the bottom parts of the arrows had been removed. For more, see this website. [map] |

| Marsh Foodliner [gone] Warsaw, IN |
Wishing Well Motel Whiteland, IN |
 |
 |
|
This Marsh Foodliner sign is from the 1950s. Marsh Supermarkets moved the sign to this new location when it opened around 1992. The chain built other signs like this but I believe this is the only one left. In 2017, this location closed. The sign was moved to the Yorktown Historical Alliance in Yorktown, IN where it will be displayed. For more, see this website.
The Wishing Well Motel sign is probably from the 1950s. For more, see this website. [map] |
