Is there a word for this: Gorgeous Polaroids of vintage signage before time passes and the "retro" designation settles in?
And if there is, then I'm sure there's a word for girls like me who get all damp when they hear the words "signage+polaroid" in the same sentence.
Roadside Pictures has posted a found collection of polaroid prints on Flickr, taken by someone who worked for a sign company in the 1950s and 60s.
And to make it even better: they're all from my home turf of Washington state (just down the road from Seattle, it looks like -- near Tacoma, Puyallup and Gig Harbor.)
No. Wait. To make it EVEN better, many bear ballpoint sketches of what may have been works in progress.
Retro-fitted retro.

I'm not sure if it's the same sign, but Baydo's is still there. I've driven by it recently.
