C&T Paint & Wallpaper features this somewhat 3-D sign of a painter on a metal ladder. The sign was installed around 1959. The eight-foot-tall sign was originally made of wood. In 2019, it was announced that the business was moving downtown. The "Man on the Ladder" sign was moved to the company's location in Dedham, MA. That location has closed and I don't believe he was moved again.

The Paul Revere sign was built in 1948 by the C.I. Brink sign company of Boston. It was installed on Route 6 on the roof of the Revere Copper Products Company. The company was founded by Paul Revere. The sign is made of copper produced by the company and is 25 feet tall by 44 foot wide. There are five colors of neon. The horse's legs were lit in two-part animation creating a galloping action. There are five colors of neon, more than 200 neon pieces, and 1,000 feet of neon tubing in 126 sections. The sign deteriorated over the years and the neon was disconnected in the 1970s. The sign was taken down in 1994. In 1997, the sign was saved by WHALE, the Waterfront Historic Area League, which began fundraising for the sign's renovation. It cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to restore. In 1998, the sign was installed along I-195 and relit with a 50-foot-long electronic message board below it. In 2013, it was announced that the sign was a safety hazard and distraction. In 2014, it was removed and put in storage. In 2017, it was sold to Dave Waller of Neon Williams who has been restoring the sign. He hopes to install it on public view somewhere in the Boston area. For more, see this website.

The Revere Copper Company in Rome, NY has a very similar sign at its factory. The letters were installed in 1936 and the horse and rider were added in 1951. The sign was lit with red neon and the horse's legs on that sign were animated in the same way as this one in New Bedford. The original letters for "Revere, Copper - Brass" remain on the scaffolding. In 2024, restoration of the sign began. The neon will be replaced with LED tubing.
