Detailed History

Founded in Chicago in 1917 by Melvin Jones, Lions Clubs International grew into the world's largest service club organization, dedicated to community betterment, sight preservation, and civic leadership. During the mid-20th-century boom of roadside and civic signage, local chapters installed large porcelain enamel emblem signs along highway entrances and outside town meeting halls to welcome travelers. Manufactured by pressing powdered glass onto heavy steel plates and firing them in high-temperature kilns, porcelain enamel signs like this 30-inch emblem were designed to withstand decades of harsh outdoor weather without fading or peeling. Original round porcelain Lions signs are highly sought after by collectors of American fraternal history, gas & oil memorabilia, and mid-century advertising art.
