This vintage advertising symbol is well known to most people and is still fascinating today. I took the photo below years ago when traveling but sadly I did not note on the photo the location were it was. It was fairly large and not far from the road.
I may add a sign/billboard of the image on my layout. Below is a 1921 ad showing the symbol on a victrola.
I find vintage ads and equipment fascinating. Years ago I bought an early jukebox which plays 78 RPM records. It only plays one side of the records so if I want to play the other side I need to take the record out and turn it over. This jukebox employs the old vacuum tubes which interestingly are still made though not widely available. I have a modest collection of old 78 RPM records, a few of which have recordings on one side only.
I am slowly installing and scenicing the buildings on my layout street. I have been slowed down by the need to cut down some trees, one really large. Not much fun. I have decided there is room on the street for one more structure which has been designed.
