Check out this fantastic rooftop sign for the Meadow Gold in Tulsa, OK. This is one sign that could literally be seen for blocks.

However, this 1934 era sign will be removed soon if it hasn't been already. Word was that the owners were to donate it to a preservation group. See Preservation Alley's latest on the Meadow Gold.

UPDATE 12/08 : The Meadow Gold sign that was removed from Route 66 in Tulsa, OK a few years ago will be returning to Route 66 near its original site in January. According to the December 5, 2008 Tulsa's World article, the sign is almost fully restored and will be located at the intersection of Quaker Avenue and 11th Street.

UPDATE 05/09 : The historic Meadow Gold sign has been restored and now sits at 11th Street and Quaker Avenue. According to Route 66 News, a dedication ceremony was held on May 22 and by the looks of things, the Meadow Gold sign looks as good as ever. The sign had been dismantled from its original location at the SW Corner of 11th & Lewis in 2004 as originally reported in Preservation Alley. 05/09

Check out this coffee percolator sign at the H.L. Moss Appliance Repair in Tulsa, OK. Not sure how many percolators get fixed these days, though it's good to see an old time appliance repair shop still standing in a city. 10-05
