About the Collection

Welcome to Echoes of the Past,

the Retro Sign Experts!

Echoes of the Past is an online retro sign store with a focus on automobilia but covering a range of other product areas.

We welcome people to browse this site and discover the art and history of 20th Century advertising signage.

All signs in the categories are available for purchase in various sizes. We only offer reproductions for sale. We do not trade in original collectors signs.

The current collection has hundreds of signs on display and is regularly expanded from our library of thousands of signs. So we recommend you use the Brand Search tool to help you find what interests you.

We believe that the current display is the largest collection of authentic advertising signage that exists on the internet.

Other sites may have more images but these collections are often padded out with fantasy signs. That is, signs that never existed in real life.

Our sign collection is comprehensive but by no means complete. We are always adding to the site. We have thousands of images on file awaiting preparation and publication. It is an ongoing process adding these to the collection and we trust that you will be surprised and delighted as new images come online.
