Measuring an impressive 40 inches in length, it showcases meticulous craftsmanship with smooth curves, well-defined detailing, and hollowed-out handles. Originally used to advertise a tailor, seamstress, or barbershop, this rare piece has been recently repainted in a soft pale green, refreshing its appearance while preserving its vintage character. A distinctive and whimsical decorative element, it seamlessly blends historical charm with a refreshed aesthetic, making it a standout addition to any collection or interior space.
