kidamadeus wrote:Hello all...my first post. I have a Jax Sign (I suspect Jacksonville era) that I know nothing about. Any info would be helpful as I have never seen this sign anywhere. It is a enamel on metal, and roughly 14" wide by 24" long. At the top it says (in stylized cursive) "Say" with the Jacksonville "JAX" in larger lettering. Below is the upper part of a bottle with a diagonal label on the bottle neck with the words "Jax - The drink of friendship". The background is navy blue, while the lettering of the text is yellow, and the bottle is varying shades of yellow, gold and white. I have a picture, but I am not familiar enough with this site to post it. I am really curious about this piece, so any info would help. Thanks!
Clifford emailed the picture to me so I could post it for him...here it is.

That is a late 40's or early 50's Jax sign from the Jax Ice and Storage Company in Jacksonville Florida. The sign looks like it was cut in half as it should have the entire bottle on it with a complete border around the outer edge. That is a fairly rare sign and is not seen too often, if at all.

Great stuff Keith! Where you from? I'm guessing Kansas by the license plates.

Here is some Jax stuff for your enjoyment.
