Here's one I picked up recently. It fits into the front triangle of a bike frame. No idea where the shop was located. I'm in the Northeast so possibly somewhere nearby.

Another of our all-time favorite bicycle dealer signs... this one was in Long Beach, California. We tried many times to buy the sign (at least the little king portion in the center). But the owners would not sell it. After our friend passed we lost track of it.

Owner in the 1970s was friend Art Lambrose who also had a shop over in Cypress that was LOADED with vintage Rollfast parts (some NOS) and old Rollfast bicycles.

No idea if the Monark sign still exists today. But for those today who will tell you there were no big Monark and Silver King dealers... they are mistaken!
