Delicatessen on Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn

Delicatessen on Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn has a great #vintage #sign with wonderful green #script lettering. This #deli has been closed as long as we can remember and the #signage is peeling away but it still looks great to us. We also love all of the #rust and #graffiti on the doorway.

1949 International a130 Metro Van

The International Harvester Metro Van was produced in the United States from 1938 until 1975 and sold internationally. Unlike their trucks and other vehicles, the Metro bodies were built by the Metropolitan Body Company on Grand Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a company that International Harvester would later purchase in 1948.
The original design was by Raymond Loewy of Studebaker and Coke bottle fame. The Metro design was one of several with which Loewy was involved or created during his association with International Harvester.

G&M Variety Discounts House, Closed

G&M Variety Discounts House on upper Broadway was a #hardware store that also sold housewares, school supplies, and other discounted items. We loved its colorful #vintage #signage with its intersesting #typography. Sadly it is no longer in business and has been replaced by an upscale pet store as this Manhattan neighborhood has become gentrified. Photo from 2004 appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York." #storefront #type #font #fontastic #disappearingfaceofnewyork #popyacolour #signgeeks #nyc

"The books pay tribute to the small, independent, family-run & rapidly disappearing businesses of New York City, with page after page of glorious images. Some of the photographs show businesses anyone even briefly acquainted with the city would know, while others are landmarks only in their own neighborhoods."

Eggy's Beauty Salon in South Beach, Miami has a fantastic ‪#‎retro‬ ‪#‎sign‬. ‬

Not sure why this old-school ‪#‎beauty‬ parlor was called "Eggy's" as we couldn't find out much from the present owners but we sure love that ‪#‎script‬ ‪#‎lettering‬ and that ‪#‎font‬ on the "S" in salon.
