Here's another of my DP signs. Had it for about twenty years. It was being used as a filler for a hole in a trailer floor. I saw the bottom of the embossing and thought it was worth saving. I replaced it with some (plain) sheet metal, the rest is history. Oh yah, he gave the sign to me for free. It's a little rough, but not bad for free!!
Enjoy
Finally found the sign in an old Fortune magazine 1947.

Great find. Quite the character. Wait till you see what I drug out of my granfathers chicken coop. Those are nasty, ugly and old too. That's what I love about em.
