Manufacturer/Plant: American Art Works
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Contents/Type: n/a
Dimensions: 13 w x 6 h.
Comments/description: Attractive debossed sign with distinctively 1930s typography. Subtle linear Deco cues to the text and elements at the bottom. Condition is very good, with some moisture exposure evident in the metallic. Other surface wear and marks are clear in the photos. Has edge kinks and indentations on all 4 sides, all pretty small so the sign still lays flat. Largest are above the double rules at lower left, above the A of ALE, and to the right of FREE. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
