SHOW ME YOUR SIGNS!!
As you can tell by now....I like seeing photos of other collectors (my wife says.. packrats...thinks I should collect money instead) collections! I don't get out much so this forum helps in that department!
I want to see some of your signs. Here are some of mine (regional collector, but love some of those west coast and New England signs!!!!) Any cool " AZTEC", "RANIER", "CROFT" or "GOEBEL" signs out there?

Guys (Steve especially)
If you have a gorgeous old tray like that Pearl,buy a bottle of Kramer's Antique Improver and wipe it down with a clean cloth.It will both clean and
moisturize that bad boy.Yeah,I know it says WORKS ON WOOD,but you'll be the one sporting wood when you see how much it improves your tray/sign! Check out how it made the colors pop on this Leisy sign:
and after a rubdown with Kramer's??
http://www.kramerize.com/Introduction.htm
And if you are lucky enough to have a Pearl tin sign (using you again as an example,Stevorino-did you ever think you'd be a cyber role-model?) with the lady and bottle,it can be rejuvinated with McGuiar's cleaner wax...or,if you really want to make a difference-FLITZ.
http://www.flitz.com/
You can also score a tube cheaper on ebay if you search.
"But Barry,you say...I've got a PLASTIC (or plexiglass) sign with fine scratches and oxidation!" C'mere,beer breath.Listen up.
NOVUS!

These 3 products are ESSENTIAL in my sign cleaning arsenal.

Gluekhead...can't wait to see your signs! Texas cans...your Pearl calendar reminded me of my City Club girl! It was a 1939 calendar, unfortunately the bottom 1/3 was virtually gone! Desintegrated! The top 2/3 framed up nicely though!

Very nice!!!!!!!! I need to get a couple of those lighted signs!!!!!! I love that OLD STYLE light. Couple weeks ago I had a shot at a small Berghoff sign/neon light on EBAY, but I was tapped out and I knew a certain guy would bid waaaay out there and didnt want to pay more than worth! He won it, and I didnt even try!
All beautiful, and most I have never even seen!!
Thats why i like to see pix!!

Hey,Glukehead
NO such luck with me...I have been in so many older homes ripping them apart and the best I can do is come up with the dreaded 50's Ballantine cans.Someday when they rip into my house when I'm long gone they will find 50's Ballantine cans all over!!!
Here are a few more pictures of signs just hanging around here.

Mouting/Displaying metal trays
Silly question but is there a consensus on the best way to display metal trays without ruining/altering them to mount of walls or are shelf holders the way to go? Would love some advise - Thanks

Beer Boy,
One way you can hang trays on the wall is with a couple strong magnets. I have bought a couple small strong magnets and attched to a screw that I could screw in the wall and then I just put the tray up against them and boom it sticks! Never had one fall off yet. I also use them (magnets,no screw) in my garage to stick tin signs or trays to the service doors(they are metal) in my garage.
I also think Dan Morean (Breweriana.com) sells this type of magnet screw device on his site....I think...

Mounting Trays with Magnets
Ron - Thanks - that was exactly the same idea I had in my head (using magnets). Have you ever had any issues over time on the paint/metal flaking where the magnet is over time. Just curious because I've seen that happen with refrigerator magnets.
