1950s “Absolutely No Tool Loans Hand Painted Sign


Here we have a wicked vintage "Absolutely No Tools Loaned" sign hand painted on artist board. She delivers on every level of patina that exists on the scale. This sign has it all - patina, folk art garage feel, humor cursive and multiple layers of black paint to reiterate the point.  I love the fades, wear and banging patina. 

The vintage sign comes out of an old estate in Wisconsin. I was told it was likely created in the 1940s or 50s. It might have been out of a mechanics shop or some other small business. 

Imagine all the wicked places you could use this thing: your business, a work shop, any garage. You can use it anywhere and look cool doing it. One warning: If you put it in your shop, you better put a "NFS" sign on it. Trust me. 

The 1950s hand painted sign measures about 16" tall by 14" wide. The patina takes this one the next level, and it has plenty. Scrapes, wear, nicks, losses and scratches...it has it all. The sign is made out of a hard composite or artist board. It also has two manufactured holes for applying to any surface you choose. 

I ship FedEx to street addresses in the continental USA only. Free shipping on the wicked old tool sign. 

It's finally here...what you've always wanted. Reiterate!
