Wow!
That entire Columbia Bicycles, Standard of the World sign is fantastic!
Think about the demise of that magnificent beauty.
It probably got scrapped at some point without much fanfare.
Just get rid of it, out with the old, and in with the new.
That whole 1896 show looks like a 2025 collector’s wet dream.
 
Here's a watercolor of the Colson Corp plant in Elyria Ohio. Dated 1940. I'm told this hung in the corporate office of Colson. Picked this up from a good friend from Elyria. His Grandfather worked at Colson. His maternal Grandmother lived right behind the factory on Mound St.
