It's Wet! Silkscreen on Cardboard Sapolin Paint Signs visionary art Iowa in the 1920s

Iowa in the 1920s

I might suggest mounting a hook on the back and hanging it where it be seen both up close and from a distance--really spectacular

and the sides feature brass handles for easy transport

and I believe these had been made by HIS father

It's Wet! Silkscreen on Cardboard Sapolin Paint Signs visionary art Iowa in the 1920sI think these old Sapolin Paint "It's Wet!" signs are just gorgeous! I'm a big fan of old Sapolin products to begin with (they sold little bottles of gold paint for Japanning in terrific dome lidded turned wooden boxes that I always grab when I find them), and clearly their good design sense carried through to their signage. These signs appear to be silkscreens (the red and blue are super lush and vivid) printed on a nice weight cream board.
