Old Seymour's sign in Port Norfolk

Seymour's, maker of Nutty Buddies and other cold treats, was based at Dorchester's Port Norfolk. They're long gone (closed in the 1980s), but as Justin Thompson shows us, their sign is once again visible from at least the northbound side of the Expressway.

The Dorchester Historical Society has more on Charles "Buddy" Seymour and his factory on Ericsson Street, next to where the Boston Winery is now.

Seymour's made great ice cream. They had their own brand label as well as supplying all of the local supermarket brand labels, Finest a.k.a. First National Supermarkets, Capital, Supreme markets that then became Purity Supreme as well as all sorts of novelty items. It was all Seymour's ice cream. Good memories and still have the love handles to prove it. Now it's all Good with Hood.

Other billboard ads, which have alternated between Venezia and the Boston Winery. https://goo.gl/maps/GGSD6A6ex1uXGqeA7
