Great Photo of a Vintage 1960s Burger King Sign in the Wild
I stumbled across this interesting black and white photo on eBay. It depicts what is otherwise a pretty ordinary street scene in North Charleston, South Carolina in the 1960s. But look closer, and you’ll see what caught my eye:
Yes sir, that is indeed a vintage Burger King sign on the right. Now if you recall from my fast food burger chain logo gallery, the king on top of the burger BK logo was in use from roughly 1957 through 1969. Given the look of some of the cars in the picture, however, I’m going to peg this from the mid-to-late ’60s period. If only this were a color photo, that would be oh so sweet. But still, it’s pretty cool.
