Collectible Vintage Signs from Past Decades, Ranked

Bright as a summer scoop, this Tip Top sign is a sweet spot for soda fountain collectors. A New Zealand-born brand with U.S. pop culture bleed, it bursts with high-gloss pastels and retro cheer. The font is fun, the layout is balanced, and the wear — just enough to make it authentic — adds to its appeal.

These signs were mounted outside dairy bars or ice cream counters and were built to last. This one still beams with enough vibrancy to conjure memories of sticky cones and coin-operated jukeboxes.
