Sign-Making Equipment and Letters Collection
This collection consists of professional sign-making equipment and dimensional letters, likely from a sign shop. The main components include a heavy-duty letter press/forming clamp marked "BUDDY SIMON SIGN CO." and an assortment of dimensional letters in white painted metal.. The press features a substantial concrete or cast base with metal threaded rods and appears designed for forming or pressing signage materials.
The dimensional letters vary in size, with the measured "B" showing approximately 8 inches in height. The letters appear to be cut from a lightweight material, possibly expanded PVC or foam board, in a clean sans-serif typeface. A wooden shipping crate contains multiple letters and numbers. The equipment shows honest wear consistent with professional shop use, with some surface staining and patina on the metal components, but appears structurally sound and functional.
The "BUDDY SIMON SIGN CO." marking suggests this equipment originated from a specific sign company, adding provenance value. Based on the construction style and materials, this collection likely dates from the 1950s-1970s era when such manual sign-making equipment was standard in the industry.
**Estimated Value: $300-600 USD** - Based on vintage industrial equipment and sign-making collectibles market. The branded press has particular appeal to collectors of advertising memorabilia and vintage trade equipment, while the letter collection has ongoing utility value for sign makers and theatrical prop departments.
