Special 25 Cents Hand-painted Sign on Wood Panel carved face finger puppet ultimately closing in 1971In my experience one more often finds grocery signs like this one cardboard than one wood, so I have to think wherever this one was hung featured plenty of 25 cent specials! To my eye it's a super satisfying one, with this inky jet black against chippy white perfect for hanging in a shop now (surely one could find some little thing to sell for 25 cents!) or anywhere! 9 1 8 x 6 3 4 and in very good, beautifully aged condition; paint is not chipping.
