The L. Fish Furniture Company created in 1858 is still trading as one of the oldest furniture stores in Indianapolis. The sign was originally on a pylon, but fell into disrepair and was used as a roadside sign fastened to an abandoned pickup truck. It has since been salvaged and restored and is now thankfully part of the Cincinnati American Sign Museum.
