Leonard Mort - Master Signwriter
 Hi,
I'm Len Mort, the "sign guy" behind Signmaker1.com.
I started my journey into the fine art of signmaking in 1957
as a pinstriper. I learned my trade following two great friends,
Russell Miller, a master signwriter and Edmund McLeod who was
a master sign writer and a "walldog" bulletin painter
and a true craftsman.
From Ed and Russ I learned the fine art of gold leaf gilding,
lettering, blended shades, split shades and highlighting as
well as layout and design. I've spent many years gold leafing
many trucks and windows.
Over the years I've gained quite an interest in restoring antique
artifacts such as antique gas pumps and motorcycles. I love
Harleys and have owned several of my own, all Harley FLH "Full
Dressers".
I started with the gas pump "hobby" sometime around
1990 when I decided I wanted a vintage pump to go with the street
rod that I was in the process of building. Eventually I found
one and restored it, and from there it turned into hundreds
of gas pumps and clients around the country and even a few in
Aruba, Italy and Switzerland.
The gas pump hobby turned into a full blown business that took
on a life of its own. I started collecting gas station memorabilia
such as old oil cans, signs, oil bottles, vintage road maps
and old gas station photos. Before long, this hobby took over
my entire house.
I also have an interest old commercial vehicles, I have a 1940
Chevy Sedan Delivery in the process of being "hot-rodded".
I'm a real 50's teenager, and have a true love for nostalgia.
I was also the founder of the Mass Gas Collectors Association
and creator of the Mass Gas Bash. www.mass-gas-bash.com

We are masters of layout & design.
