My Exit Sign Collection

[Rick M.]

Hey everyone! Here I'll post pics of my exit signs. I currently own three.

This is the oldest one, a late 1950s Prescolite exit sign. It's the preheat fluorescent kind, with two F6T5 tubes inside. I got it from ebay a while back. (Please excuse the baby-ish wooden blocks underneath; that's all I had laying around to prop it up so the wiring had space to come out of the bottom... )




The next one is also a Prescolite, but this one is from the late 60s or early 70s. This one has two standard base incandescent bulbs inside (came with two 11W sign bulbs; sockets can hold up to 25W each). This one came from a demolition sale. Also, the arrow is not original - the previous owner spray-painted it on with a stencil of some kind. Still looks cool though.




The last one is also a Prescolite (you can tell what my favorite exit sign brand is, haha... ). It's the newest one, and it's from 1993. This one has two tubular candelabra base bulbs inside (I think they're 15W or something?). My uncle found this thing at a garage sale, still in the original packaging! Kinda cool that this one has green lettering instead of red like the other two.




All together now:


Enjoy!

Thanks! Yeah, I like those fluorescent ones too - seems like they're not as common as incandescent and those LED ones they make now.

Interesting stuff, I like the fluorescent signs too. I have a few exit signs myself too.

The most I have is the face of an LED exit sign. I don't have the other half lol.

Hmm... I wonder where that triangle-shaped exit sign came from!
