Ghost Signs – Wow!
I accidentally discovered the concept of Ghost Signs today while looking something else up on the Internet. Ghost signs are faded signs on the side of barns and brick buildings. You’ve probably seen them before but never given them much thought. Mail Pouch anyone?
There are Flickr groups and websites devoted to ghost signs in specific towns such as those in Philadelphia and Chicago.
Without thought, I captured an Eveready Flashlights & Batteries ghost sign while on Christmas holiday in WV.

Ah, yes, I have a few of those in my collection as well. Definitely a Mail Pouch barn, and some Coca-Cola signs that have faded to almost nothing.
I would never have thought it would be an actual organized hobby, though!
