Pyrograph Sign, "May All Your Troubles End in Smoke" with Match Striker vintage carved pig certainly bears a strong resemblance

certainly bears a strong resemblance to West German pieces of the fat lava era

on a mantle

And I swear

This would be great hanging in the kitchen for keeping a grocery or to do list

and I presume date from the 1950s or so

Pyrograph Sign, "May All Your Troubles End in Smoke" with Match Striker vintage carved pig certainly bears a strong resemblanceI'm pretty taken with this antique wooden sign decorated with pyrography, signed (burned) on the back with the initials of its maker (W. F. G) and the year 1906. It not only features a great rendering of a burning pipe and the text, May all your troubles end in smoke, but also a square of sandpaper adhered to the bottom left corner for striking matches, which is still rough and ready to do the job. I especially love the os inside of os, like smoke
