Signs with Multiple Lives
As the Collections department continued with organizing and cataloging the collection, another photo stood out.
Stardust Sign
After finally processing and returning the Federal Heath collection, we moved on to scanning a collection donated to us by sign designer Charles Barnard.
Greetings from America
This is one of the most wonderful photos from the Federal Heath collection. It shows two very important people in the Las Vegas sign design world: Betty Willis and Brian “Buzz” Leming.
What is that Round Sign?
Visitors to our North Gallery often ask “what is that round/sphere sign?”
Signs Systems Inc. Install
These pictures from a Sign Systems Inc. (now known as Federal Heath) installation show a beautiful view of the Las Vegas Valley and the steady nerves of the people who regularly maintained and installed the signs.
Aladdin
We have seen a lot while going through the Federal Heath photos, but this one of the Aladdin sign (installed in 1976) is by far is one of our favorites.
Signs Systems Inc. Employee Welding
Two very fun things about this photo: it shows a Sign Systems Inc. employee welding what is to be part of the Excalibur pylon sign sometime in Spring/Summer 1990.
Hiding in the Background
Federal Heath photos often have lots of little things going on in them.
