C. 1940s Hand-painted Hub Caps Sign on Cardboard alphabet blocks and also a good reminder

and also a good reminder to pay attention

with the horizontal dowels meant for linens

a little bowed along the top

but also drawing one in to wonder about the expression on the face of our protagonist

C. 1940s Hand-painted Hub Caps Sign on Cardboard alphabet blocks and also a good reminderThis and a second one just listed I purchased from a dealer in the Hudson River Valley who always has wonderful things of great variety; I'd guess these originated at a service station not far from there, c. 1940s. Hand painted on cardboard with great color, making one nostalgic for the nearly lost art of sign painting and also for the prices of yesteryear! 13 3 4" x 13 3 4". A little wear loss to the corners but in overall good shape.
