SAM THE GLAZIER, Maspeth

by Kevin Walsh

Somehow I have overlooked this pair of painted ads on the NW corner of Fresh Pond Road and Eliot Avenue. The ads are by the same signpainter and are flogging business that are some distance away from the sign. The glazier is at Myrtle and Wilson Avenues in Bushwick.

 

There’s a vignette of a baseball player breaking a window with a batted ball…

I love Sam the Glazier! We winterized our ticket-booth at a music venue I work for in Bushwick and seeing the guy cut glass in his very old-school set up, crawling on top of the carpeted table and swishing his razor up and down the pane, was so cool.
