I spotted some options for old tin vintage smokeless powder and reloading signs online recently. I may get one for the reloading room when I find the right one.

Anyone want to post a picture of their favorite tin reloading sign?

It might color-up the dismal component availability situation I experienced when I was out today at the local sporting supply shops. Something to boost morale!

Thank you.
 
I have a framed engineer drawing from the Lithgow armory in Australia. Boosts my spirits every time I look at it.

See if you can find a full color ad or something from the turn of the century - not the latest one, the previous. ;) Maybe Bullseye or Unique?
 
I've run across a couple of the old steel powder cans that the bottoms were rusted out of. I always thought cutting the tops off, splitting at the seam and flattening them for use as a sign would be neat. Never have done it, but thought about it.

Thanks GeoDude. Ebay has a Hercules tin sign that could work. I think the older vintage would be the way to go.

I like that idea. I have a couple of old Prince Edward and Velvet tobacco tins that remind me of my Grandpa that would work for that. Not reloading related, but they sure bring back great memories.
