Storefront sign is actually a combination of five different signs, constructed from a variety of materials. The main identity – “Loomis Camera” – is composed of individual backlit, plastic faced, sheetmetal cabinets – one for each letter. The three-dimnesional camera is fabricated from sheetmetal with neon highlights. Sign also included a reader board and a painted plywood sign. The museum acquired only the main identity and the camera.
