Here are some "ghost signs" that are located near Tiger Stadium. They are not really ghost signs in the true sense as they probably do not date back very far but ghost signs in the term that they are semi-old and faded.

The signs are on the back of several bars overlooking a parking lot next to Tiger Stadium. I have no idea what they were patterned after but they look like the out field of the stadium about 1915. The one for the Detroit Athletic Club is kind of strange in that the DAC was and still is an exclusive club for the wealthy,  Besides the "Accept no Imitations" seems to be a more modern term. The ironic thing is that the DAC now overlooks the new ball park. The DAC was designed by Albert Kahn in about 1921. 07-08

This ghost sign located on this wall in Toledo, OH is for Tates Tires. Not sure if this is the original name or if it stands for something else like States Tires. 08-08
