Rare & Hand Painted Near Antique Folk Art Metal Salmon Sign from Fish Monger's
Located in Lisse, NL
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. Over the years we have seen and sold all kinds of antiques, but this was only the second time that we had the opportunity to purchase a vintage (or near-antique) fish sign and we were immediately thrilled. Not only because of the extraordinary size, but also because of the rarity, the details and the marvelous colors. This kind of workmanship you simply don't find anymore in this day and age. We have searched the worldwide web and you simply cannot find these sculptural signs anywhere. The aging has made this salmon even more beautiful and realistic, because the crazing of the paint makes it look like you can see its scales. This handcrafted, folk-art-like antique looks like it is made of zinc, but we think it is thick tin. This large salmon will look great in a fish monger's, but it can also be the perfect decoration in the office of a salmon farm, in a fisherman's lodge, in a mancave or in a fishing (gear) shop. It was originally made to hang, either in an open space or up against the wall (as shown in our photos) but with one or two brackets this work of art could also be displayed on a very large desk...

Huge Ghirardelli Chocolate Parrot Mascot Painted Wood Advertising Sign, 1930s
Located in San Francisco, CA
A very rare and full of character 1930s six-foot-tall Ghirardelli Chocolate hand-painted wood advertising sign featuring the company's early and iconic parrot mascot. Fantastically vibrant and eye-catching outdoor billboard advertising products by the world famous 170-year-old San Francisco chocolatier, after which the city’s historic waterfront landmark Ghirardelli Square is named. Commanding and colorful graphic design distinguished by crisp, bold lettering and an incredibly charismatic parrot excitedly squawking the proper pronunciation: "Say Gear-Ar-Delly!" The parrot mascot was introduced in 1915 as part of a successful ad campaign that saw sales rise as customers felt more comfortable in asking for their chocolates and other products by name. In the parrot’s shopping cart are three cans of Ghirardelli products—Nu-Malt, Ground Chocolate, and Milk Cocoa—each nicely showcasing early-to-mid-century American packaging design. Displays a wonderful sense of depth and economical attention to detail. Exactingly executed and varied typefaces handsomely embody exactly what makes vintage advertising signage so visually striking and sought after. Reminiscent of Guinness beer posters...
