I have one of those signs (all individual letters) that will be put onto my edition of my studio. My studio will be a replica of a late 40's to early 50's Singer store front complete with the huge windows for display.

(edit to add):
Sorry, that's what I first thought you meant when you said you were gonna send it to Billy...
Billy, you told someone that owned a FW not to use Liquid Gold on it but to use carnuba wax. I have seen waxes with carnuba wax but with other ingredients. What brand/name should I look for? Also, I have a 301A. Should I use Liquid Gold on that or the carnuba wax. Thanks

Thanks
