Very unusual porcelain enamel sign by the "American Valve and Enameling Corp." This sign company was based out of Indianapolis from 1928 to 1970. I've never seen anything like this before with a beautiful scene of a country cottage on it, it reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade painting. The dimensions of the sign are 27 1/2 inches tall by 19 inches wide. I have it hanging in the kitchen. Thanks for looking!
