Shell "Stickman" Embossed Enamel Sign. Blue background. 6 x 3 ft. (Only one part of a three part sign that would have been 6 x 9 ft - but the best part!). Signs. Enamel. One panel only! Red, yellow and black embossed design. Blue background with red border. 6 x 3 ft. 6 x 3 foot (178 x 90 cm). 1930s
N/A. (N/A). Just for absolute clarity - this is ONLY ONE PANEL of a sign that when complete contains three panels and overall is an imposing 6 x 9 foot! This right hand panel is 6 x 3 foot and depicts the best part, the red stickman himself! There are some bends and folds along the edges to the curved sections. Enamel has flaked below stickman's right elbow leaving a rusty patch. Some rusty enamel flakes to the stickman as well, mostly along his multiple joints. Down the left is some flaking and rust, this would be where there was some wear between the adjoining panels. Area of rusty flakes between the stickman and the word oil, nothing huge here. Across to the right from here at the edge there is rusty flaking around a mounting hole, this mounting hole looks after market, as most of them are in the red ridged border, including one next to this. In fact, I have a feeling this may actually be a bullet hole! Some flaking and rust around the purpose made mounting holes. Long discoloured lines down the left are slightly rusty lines along some fine crazing. A great item, a complete example sold in recent years for $133,975! For those of you needing this panel to complete your sign, this is an absolute must have! The best panel too with the stickman on it! Estimate: $1000-2000
