Do You Recognize This Clock? Do You Have a Sign Suggestion?

One such sign already in our possession is proving to be a mystery. This large clock, stored for years at Yanke Machine Shop, once belonged somewhere - on a building? on a pole? outside? inside? ... Who knows where? So far we're all stumped. Even the Yanke folks say it looks familiar, and came from a Boise business, but can't tell us where it came from. If you know, drop us a line HERE.
THE NEON IS LIT!
Visit Grove Street between 12th & 13th Streets to see our collaborative public art project, featuring six vintage neon signs fully restored in beautiful color.
