This antique rustic sign is a unique one of a kind. It is handcrafted from all natural solid wood. A "5 cent shoe shine" advertising sign is a beautiful primitive/rustic piece of art using an actual attached tiny child's shoe form. There was no other sign made by this craftsman like this so it's value, simply for it's unique originality and age make it's monetary value much greater. It is designed to be a wall hanging piece and measures approximately 13"W x 16"H...Crafted simply for one's own personal advertising use in the late 1800's in downeast Maine. It is signed and has a unique style that sets it apart from any other signs. This piece is perfect for those who appreciate antiques and primitives and is sure to be a conversation starter. This comes from a smoke free home.
Please be sure to view my other listings and check back in regularly as I am fairly new to ebay "selling" and I am working hard to try and add atleast a few new listing each day as time allows. I own a small independent business here in downeast Coastal Maine and have hundreds and hundreds of items that I would like to add from my current inventory. I have "atleast one of everything ever made" I often say with a chuckle..
I welcome you to message me anytime to inquire. I would be happy to create a new listing customized just for you if you choose to reach out to me here on ebay and ask about any items I may have... but have not been able to get it/them listed yet. I can send pictures to you according to your interest(s) and work with you to hopefully find items that you are in search of. I typically sell vintage, antique, nautical, collectible (for both women and men alike), original artwork paintings & prints, handcrafted Maine made baskets, a large variety of unique books many which are antique & even many that are extremely rare ...so my current listings are simply just a small variety. I would have to keep everything exclusive to ebay of course but I am (or "aim" to be) as accommodating as possible.
I hope to hear from you.
