Bus drivers used to turn a crank to show the stops on the top of the bus, said DeWayne Lumpkin, whose Home Economics shop in Grants Pass, Ore., sells single rolls of the graphic vintage cloth, along with pillows, benches and wing chairs upholstered in it.

The rolls date from the 1940s to the 1970s, and measure 30 to 60 feet long.

The fabric sells for $175 a yard, and varies in width, from 24 to 38 inches; an 18-inch-square pillow is $110, a wing chair is $2,500, and a 48-inch-long bench, above, sells for $950.
