Miss Kty, as she is most known, is -thor of the new and credibly, exhstively, rearched two-volume encyclopedia set about Fran Taylor and Gay Fad Studs, Gay Fad: Fran Taylor’s Extraordary Legacy. My opn is that you may well have an early Gay Fad orange sign, but that’s gog to be difficult to fively prove. So if your set is by Gay Fad, that would mean that Fran produced Detro before movg Gay Fad Studs to Lanster, OH 1945.

As we say “The Fran Taylor Story” chapter of our book (page 5, volume 1), we have yet to disver a newspaper article about Fran or Gay Fad or a Gay Fad ad dated prr to 1945. That article is reproduced the “Gay Fad Articl” chapter (page 180, Volume 2). We also know that Gay Fad produced a variety of Orange signs over the years, and we show pictur of 10 of them the “Gay Fad Digns – Intified” chapter (page 103 of Volume 1).

So aga, my opn is that your set may well be an early Gay Fad orange sign, but that’s gog to be almost impossible to prove – at least at this pot time. The dat of the vtage Deprsn glass ci wh Fran Taylor and Gay Fad’s early years durg which the ld patg was done.
