High Quality Black and White Copy Negative This Measures Approximately 2x2.5 Inches
"Lemonade Squeeze" - the seller's eBay ID - is, unfortunately, plastered across the online image. It's bright yellow in the auction, but I was able to lose the color.
this auction is for a hackensack suburban car dealership chrome script that was affixed to a car sold at that dealership back in the day...it is old and pitted and was repaired but has the 3 mounting pins intact and seems pretty strong with a jb weld/wire splint....interesting item
What is "suburban car dealership"? It can't be a Chevy Suburban - not in lowercase. And I doubt it's from an old DeSoto Suburban - they wouldn't have a dealership just for one DeSoto model and it also wouldn't be in lowercase.
It looks a bit amateurish..........is it even from a car dealership? Anybody have a clue?

While researching Mr. Loomis, I came across this page that contains a lot of mid-19th century mentions of Hackensack:

SPECIFICS: multi-colored. This label lists 10 different Eastern RINKS that were members of the U.R.O. (United Rink Operators) Association and part of the AMERICA ON WHEELS chain of Rinks.

Backround Information: The 1920's through the late 1950's were the " Golden Age " in terms of popularity and public usage for ROLLER RINKS in America. Very popular " dating activity" and the place to meet and socialize for high school and college students on weeknights and week-end nights. Very popular family activity on week end days. Literally thousands of different rinks across the country during the 1940's. With the introduction / wide usage of wood or metal " skate cases", many/most rinks began to print & distribute " Labels " advertising their Rink. Patrons would apply these stickers to their roller skate case. Most often these stickers had " lick'em stick'em " gummed backs. On occasion, Rinks would issue " water dip " transfer DECALS or STICKERS equipped with peel-off backing paper. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED: the Labels / Stickers that we are offering are of the " lick'em stick'em " gummed back variety.
