Then and Now, from Signs to Websites.
Started by Ogilvie Stanford in 1879 with the help of Rockwell Gager. Ithaca Sign Works produced cloth, tin and wooden signs; novelties like yard sticks, match safes, knife sharpeners, fly swatters, and spare tire covers. They printed or painted such items as advertisements for other companies all over the country. – Ithaca Sign Works

Cool blog-website…
I have a small piece of glass with the words Ithaca sign works stamped in it. It is light blue in color and 371/2 x2xi/2 in size. it is open on one side and the words are on both sides of the piece and it looks like it might have been a business card holder. Could you tell me what it is. My quriosity isdriving nuts. I have checked every web site and all I can find that might know what is is your company site. Of course we are glass colectors and found it on one of our gloass hunts. Thank You
