OLD LETTERING (Rt 66 Newkirk NM)
From the front of a long-closed general store and gas station. A canopy gave some protection from the elements.
Fading has made it possible to see individual brush strokes and how the painter "roughed-in" the image, helped by the cut wood. This lettering style was common in the 1920s-30s. There's even older signage underneath.
