The plaque is in the floor of the Filbert street entrance and I vaguely remember it as a child.

Ar you sure it was a plaque and not the eagle? The store was famous for its eagle. People would meet there. I don’t know of a plaque and see no reference to one in my research.
Yes I’m sure it’s not the eagle. It was an emblem in the floor with a variety of influential signatures.
Oh, gosh. I have photos I’ve taken of the eagle. I vaguely recall something in the floor, because I used it as a guide to center my photo of the organ pipes…
@wundayatta Thank you so much, but I’m still missing a plaque similar to the one you sent me with a bunch of signatures> I distinctly remember John Wanamaker’s signatures along with a couple others. Can you help me?
