Red on White Hand-painted Double Sided OPEN + Cabbage Sign large whirligig the two with fishing poles

the two with fishing poles perched on what appears to be the stone wall of a pond

and what a lovely object to hang on the wall near the entryway

which interlock to allow for even spacing between letters

with a couple of old fold lines and a small clean tear near the top along the center fold line

though I am certain it was hers

Red on White Hand-painted Double Sided OPEN + Cabbage Sign large whirligig the two with fishing polesI really love the big, painterly serif lettering on this old hand painted OPEN sign, and the way the O and N push up against the edges, and of course the all over craquelure to the white paint, which I believe is house paint. Then on the back, just Cabbage, quickly painted with the paint thinning as the hand travelled. To my eye quite a satisfying thing. 19" l x 10 1 2" t x 5 8" thick. Sound and stable condition; paint is not actively chipping off.
