I got these two Nosegay Tobacco tin signs this week. I believe them to be 1920s. They are not in the greatest shape but most of my 90+ yr old people I know are not either! Damaged/rusty or not I think they are cool! Made by the Toscarora Advertising company of Coshocton Ohio. One sign is more rusty, the other has been creased/bent. I havent tried to clean them up at all yet, kind of like the rust on these

Thanks everyone for the "love"
GREAT piece! Do NOT attempt to try and clean this up, you will do more damage to it. Leave it be!
