Nice Grab B-man!!!
At first glance, I thought this was a huge sign and wondered why you posted that last photo. Then I realized. What size is this actually? And do you know specifically, where this small sign would be displayed? Seems too small for an outdoor sign. Still a nice Bernie...even if it is a Canadian sign :)
beautiful sign!! really looks great next to your large button,
Yes!!!! That's a sweet one Bernie! And I do believe you found the spot for it too, looks like it belongs there. This sign was worth the wait!!!
Thanks so much for your nice comments Tommy,Ray,Spriteboy, & Dave!!
Should have put the size in the description, but it is a 29 1/4x12 1/4.
These were either toe kicks on doors or just hung on the walls. Not in Petretti's 12th, but neither are a lot of other Canadian signs.
Hey Bernie nice sign i just saw one in waterford for 225$ about same condition. I have this sign too, I posted it a few months back its a kickplate would have been outside on the door, you bang your boots/shoes off on it before you went into store, so theres prob not too many in this condition. its in pets 11 edition pg 245, if you were curious of its price ( 525$ )
good for you pickrknows !!!!!!!!!! love the sign!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice sign glad it didn't get used what it was intended for banging dirt of your shoes.
Great find Bernie! Great condition too.
