Large size and all hand-crafted metal salmon sign. This vintage salmon sign is another one of our recent great finds. The former owner told us how he, about three decades ago, had purchased this unique antique in France.

We have searched the worldwide web and you simply cannot find these sculptural signs anywhere.
