## Resource

Six vintage pharmacy signs from southwest Nova Scotia just sold for over thirty-two thousand dollars at auction—way above their original purchase price of under a thousand. Dating to the late 1920s or early 1930s, these eye-catching tin lithograph signs were originally placed a mile apart to grab drivers’ attention, making them both historically rich and visually striking. Bidding heated up fast, jumping from sixteen thousand in under five minutes, as collectors from across North America competed. The seller, likely unaware of their true value, may have missed a chance for local historical societies to preserve them—now they’re priceless pieces of regional business history.
