Nice old Behlen porcelain sign that I believe went on corn cribs. Sign is from Behlen Advanced Engineering in Columbus, NE. I saw one on a website that was in very poor condition (almost all covered in rust) and it sold but I have no idea the purchase price (one of the "once you sign up you can see sale prices" sites and I'm super-curious but even more super-cheap.) Anyway, this is currently hanging in our garage.

I found the same sign while on a walk in the woods near our home in IL. It is in great shape just some rust around the edges. I love old signs and it will go up in our kitchen unless someone wants to buy it. Happy hunting!
I like the signs that have rust. If they dont, I sell them.
