Last week’s photo, “Neon hammer” was sent to us by Barry Wingard of Florence. It shows a big hammer that motorists in the Scranton, S.C., area frequently pass.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, told us more: “Today’s mystery photo is of the larger-than-life sign of a hammer that attracts attention to the Big Hammer Home Supply store, a hardware store that focuses on building materials, hardware, garden and mobile home supplies. The store was formerly known as the Salvage Store when it first opened in Scranton on March 1, 2015, after moving from Turbeville, approximately 16-miles west of its current location. Originally founded in 2010, the store is owned and operated by Jerry Briggs and employs four people. The “Big Hammer” roadside sign” was actually a DIY project built by Briggs as a means of standing out and attracting customers as they pass by the location.”
Others who correctly identified the picture, including several newbies to Mystery Photo, included: Donna Smith of Greer; Karl Folkens, Dana Smith, Lynn Pate and Jim Harlow, all of Florence; Shawn Yarborough of Moncks Corner; Pat Keadle of Wagener; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Fran Matthews of Scranton; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; and Pernell Frierson of Cades. Jim Shih and DeShayla Thompson also correctly identified the photo, but didn’t provide their current towns.
