George C. Brooks Glass sign portfolio

These photos are from the glass sign portfolio of George C. Brooks. The portfolio was originally purchased by Rick Glawson. I had the pleasure of looking through it shortly after Rick had acquired it. After Rick's passing the American Sign Museum purchased it. The amazing thing to me was that the size of each plate was no more than 5" x 6" and all hand painted.
