August Sign of the Month- Dusty Strings Music Shop Coffee Mug

Yes its a mug; not exactly a sign, but when you're camping its the closest thing. Plus it's my favourite mug.

May Sign of the Month- Bic Ballpoint Pen Counter Display Stand

I picked this neat item up from a local car swap meet the other day. Its probably from the 1970's, maybe late 60's. It makes a good airbrush paint rack.

March Sign of the Month- Indian Board Track Racer




The paint is a little faded but you can still make out the famous Indian logo. I don't know much about the bike other than it was a board track racer.

February Sign of the Month- 1920 Harley-Davidson WJ Sport Twin Gas Tank

This Harley-Davidson 1920 WJ Sport Twin, with its' 37 Cubic inch air cooled horizontally opposed twin cylinder engine, looks great in its' green livery.  The lettering on the tank is superb.  Introduced in 1919, it was in production until 1923, when it was discontinued due to poor sales. Next month's Sign of the Month will continue with an early example from H-D's biggest rival.  To me, a gas tank is rolling advertising, a mobile sign if you like.  This bike can be seen at the Trev Deeley Museum in Vancouver, B.C.
