Kay's Kitchen opened in 1972. This sign must be from then or it might have been adapted from an older sign. [map]

& Liquor Store
Waseca, MN		 Johnson Hardware
Windom, MN
The Smith Furniture sign appears to be from the 1950s. [map]

Barden's Bar & Liquor Store opened here in 1937. This sign may be from then. It's not known what lies underneath the "Hamm's" sign panel. The owner thinks it said "Schlitz". [map]

Johnson Hardware opened in 1932. This sign might be from then. The store is still in business. [map]

Standard Oil [gone]
Winnebago, MN
I believe this Standard Oil sign in Winnebago was from the 1970s. By 2014, the sign was gone.

Rune's Furniture and Carpet
Worthington, MN		 Lien Electric [gone]
Worthington, MN
Rune's Furniture and Carpet was established in 1945. This sign might be from the 1950s or 1960s. [map]

The Lien Electric sign might have been from the 1960s. These signs were mass-produced. These rubber door mats must have been mass-produced as well. These photos are from 2011. By 2012, only one of the plastic panels was still there it was displayed flat against the building. The business closed in 2020 and the sign and mat are gone now.

Spomer Classics [gone]
Worthington, MN
Spomer Classics opened around 2009. The museum displayed the collection of Marv Spomer who began collecting around 1989. The focus was on neon signs but there were also restored cars and other things. In 2022, Marv decided to close the museum. Most of the collection was auctioned off in 2023.
