I picked this embossed metal sign up a couple months ago at an auction, the sign is out of the 40's or 50's. I love this sign because of the dog on it.
The dog has a name tag on it's neck collar called "stopper". Thanks for looking!

A real winner there chevy!
Thanks Michael and Signaholic for the love and comment!
I love the dog too!!! By the way your name reminds me of my first car '57 Chevy'.
Not that I'm that old. lol, but it was 10 years old when I bought it. I paid $50.00 dollars for it, than sold 3 yrs later for $50.00 dollars. Now I wish I still had it. lol
Thanks Kathycat for the love! Atleast you didn't lose money on it, yeah it would be worth more than $50 today, only if we all had crystal ball, we would know what to keep. Thanks for stopping by!
Good looking sign! Nice find there.
Thanks oilman514, I hope your business is going great!
