Great blue and white fading type, BALDWIN BELTING at Spring and Hudson in the West Village (NY).
Baldwin Belting & Leather Co. dates from 1925, and was originally located at 69 Warren St. in New York City. The name changed to Baldwin Belting, Inc. in 1944. They moved into this building at 286-300 Spring St. in 1965, and remained here until going out of business in 1989.

Faded “Warehouses” on brick building in the West Village (NY) on Greenwich Street.
I especially like the slab serif of “PAPER” in Coy Disbrow & Co. Inc. Paper, in this faded sign on Greenwich Street (West Village, NY).
Robert Henry Coy (1877-1942) and Hamilton Thomas Disbrow (1852-1942) were wholesale paper and twine dealers. They had both worked for Coy, Hunt & Co. (another wholesale paper company) from its inception in 1898 until they founded Coy, Disbrow in 1922.
