Condition/Comments: Very intriguing construction on this sign. The tin is plated or painted metallic gold (can be faintly seen through the red in some places), then over painted with the red and black, leaving open areas to define the text areas with the gold shining through. The piece was then stamped to form the raised dots that give the sign its textured text and edge bevel. Neat effect! Condition is excellent with only minor blemishes as shown, plus some surface wear that can be seen when angled to the light but may not be evident in the photos. Nice! 15-1/2 w x 6 h. All cans are original with no post-production alterations detected unless noted. For more info, questions, or to report errors in this lot contact Dan via email.
