List of Porcelain Sign Manufacturers

[Sargeguy]

I have started a list of porcelain sign manufacturers that were known to have produced telco signs:

Baltimore Enamel & Novelty Co. a.k.a. BALTO. EML. & NOY. CO.-Baltimore Maryland 1897-1943


Brilliant Manufacturing Co Philadelphia PA 1910-1930


Burdick Sign Company (B.S.Co. 52 State Street Chgo and Harvey ILL) Chicago Illinois 1894-1950


F.E. Marsland Co. of West B'way NY


Imperial Enamel Co LTD New York 1890-1910
This firm imported signs manufactured in England

Ingram-Richardson Beaver Falls Pennsylvania 1901-1960




Samuel Buckley & Co. Ltd. (New York) c. 1900 a.k.a. S.B. & Co.
This firm imported signs made in England

TEXLITE Co of Dallas Texas
Also manufactured the Texaco Pegasus sign

Great idea for a topic. TEXLITE Co of Dallas Texas made porcelain telephone signs. I have one porcelain telephone building sign with their name at the bottom. I'll post a picture when I'm at where the sign is.

Texlite made the famous Pegasus (flying horse) sign that was and is at the top of the Magnolia Oil building in downtown Dallas. The sign was recently restored.

I have a theory that some of the variation between later signs, such as the "old" and "new" '21 Bells might actually be the result of different manufacturers producing the signs in slightly different ways.

Could very well be.

Brilliant also made license plates for Pennsylvania also up to 1914 I think.
