I was waiting for the bus to pick me back up. I had spent the day wandering the fabulous city of Savannah, Georgia, when I looked up to find this ghost sign. I love old advertising signs that haven’t been washed over or lost to construction. This one was for Bayer Pills. I’m guessing this sign was painted on the red brick well before 1899, since that was the year when Bayer trademarked the now famous moniker, Aspirin. If I am correct, it’s pretty amazing to see this sign selling Bayer Pills.

I think I will now be looking for more of this signs – especially around richmond va – with the old history here – there is a spice place we drive by sometimes and that is on my list to get first – so thanks for the idea!
and here – it is crazy to think that this is 116 years old – hard to imagine that many years when I look at an old painting or antique piece of furniture – or to see a sign – and when I see them it reminds me of things change – but then sometimes not so much – some things just get recycled or modified – but a sign with a readable font – can’t improve too much on that….
I saw a couple in London and started to pay attention wherever I go now. I just hope they all remain or get photographed before painted over in progress! Just loads of fun to see them!
yeah – sad that so many do get covered over – and whew – your range of photos is ALL Over the world – oh and by the way – I still have cabbage sitting waiting to make that recipe from a few weeks ago – in fact, I might have to toss it and buy some new – ha!
I can’t wait to hear how the rolls turn out! I need to make a new batch! Yum!
I will keep you posted amiga
