Ron's Hamburgers
Skiatook, OK
The Ron's Hamburgers sign was originally built in 1954 for Claud's Hamburgers in Tulsa. It was repainted for Jerry's Hamburgers and later for Red's Hamburgers. Red's moved to Skiatook and brought this sign. The sign was then later repainted for Ron's. Ron's Hamburgers was a Tulsa-based chain, established in 1975. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Tonkawa, OK		 Indian Lodge

Del Camino Motel [gone]
Woodward, OK		 Clark Electric [gone]
Woodward, OK		 Fenimore Hardware [gone]
Woodward, OK
The Del Camino Motel sign had been missing the plastic panels with the motel's name since at least 2007. These photos are from 2011. The motel and sign were demolished around 2012. Part of the sign may have been saved. In 2024, I read that "elements" of the sign would be restored and displayed in Oklahoma City.

This Clark Electric sign was originally a Kaiser-Frazer car dealership sign. The building below the sign was vacant for many years. The sign was gone by 2022. For more, see this website.

Fenimore Hardware was long gone but this sign remained until around 2019.

United Supermarket
Elk City, OK
The United Supermarket chain was established in Sayre, OK in 1916. There are now about 50 locations in Oklahoma and Texas. These locations' signs appear to be from the 1950s and obviously had neon originally. I don't know of any that still have neon tubing. The Enid store and sign are gone now.
