Antique Wrought Iron Welder's Trade Sign

About the Item

This large double side Welder's Mask Sign hung outside a iron mongers work shop boldly visible for the coming and going. Supported by heavy chains the mask sign was eerie and a bit sinister and not for the faint hearted. The banging and trunking of metal being forged into their desired shapes, along with sparks flying through the soot filled air. You only dared to enter if you were ready to conduct business in the creation of your project. Antique trade signs are captivating relics that offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. These signs, weathered by time and history, provide a portal to a bygone era, where craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount.
