Gallery Exhibit 
From Diners to Detectives
American Vintage
​& Antique Signs

July 8, 2017 - October 31, 2017

New Hampshire Antique Co-op is pleased to present From Diners to Detectives: American Vintage & Antique Signs, a retrospective exhibit and sale of advertising signs from the 1800s to the present. Celebrating signage forms in America, this exhibit showcases a wide variety of materials employed by sign makers of today and yesteryear: hand-carved and gilded wood, hand-painted tin, printed broadsides, fabricated chrome, fired porcelain, electrified and more.
 
Visit the Tower Gallery at NHAC to view this eye-catching colorful collection for sale of signs and advertising ephemera from the 19th and 20th centuries. While touring this fun exhibit of original signs advertising everything from food and fashion to farms and agriculture, learn more about the different types and techniques of sign-making over the past 150 years. 

From Diners to Detectives: American Vintage & Antique Signs highlights a wide range of signage graphics as well as a variety of typography styles and hand-lettered fonts. Using materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, tin, steel, porcelain and neon, sign makers in the United States employed a wide variety of techniques to create their works. Signage is initially intended to be practical and functional for commercial use, yet ultimately is artful in composition and execution. These vintage and antique signs, like paintings or photographs, offer a glimpse into times gone by.

A gallery reception was held July 30, featuring diner-inspired festive fare and refreshments.
