    What an awesome find! I don't have much of a sign collection but I would love one of those greyhound dogs like you have or a big red Mobil pegasus! Bet those are costly, eh? Hugs, Leena

    I recognized your sign immediately!! It's from a Kroger grocery store.

    I have some photos/links that would give you some background on your sign. If you'd like me to send them to you, let me know how to contact you. I didn't know if I should post links in a comment or not.

    Amy, I LOVE this sign! I'd love to find an authentic old sign similar to yours. I've come across a few but they have been more than I can afford. Your Groceries one though would be hard to pass up...love the way it's under your cabinet there...looks like a perfect fit.

    I LOVE your new sign!!! I would move my stove out of my kitchen if I found a sign like yours! It's not being used much anyway. Enjoy!
