First Signcraft magazine

[Colin]

Is this first edition of Signcraft Magazine rare or of any value? (I also have a bunch of others from 1990 to 2009)

Cool! What year is that from?

 

[Colin]

All I can find is 1980. No date on the magazine.

That is so cool.

that is cool, maybe Signcraft will want to buy it back so they can republish it as next months "new" issue

I apprenticed as a Signpainter and used a brush for 15 years. Love that magazine, subscribed for years and still have some of them. Ahh the good old days!

Those early ones were really cool. For the first 15 years they were tops and so much good sign information. Now they're like a digital print magazine. I stopped getting them a few years ago but they keep sending them to me for free.

You're thinking of Signs of the Times.

After moving shop home this month I finally threw away almost 40 years of Signcraft. I kept about ten including the ragged and partial two and three issues. Supposedly all digitized on their website now.

Hi Colin - Is that the issue with an interview with Ross Ireland? I think I still have that one kickin' around here somewhere also.

^^^ I just checked now; no, I don't see that.

While we're at it everyone, I have a bunch of old sign books that I'm selling, and I've easily found their value online, but I can't find anything pertaining to this 9.25" x 12.25" hardcover by Atkinson. Any ideas on its value?

Does value count ?? Usually it only counts if you can find a buyer.

I have boxes and boxes of signcraft. I doubt they're worth much. Ya just never know. Yo, somebody make me an offer.

It was so great when that came out, Signs Of The Times had become a "corporate" sign mag and SignCradt was about small shops making great signs.
