3 3/4" x 2 7/8"

I happened upon this one in an antiques store in Vermont the other day and it immediately felt both special and familiar

and perfect for hanging from one little nail on the wall

though I know this one

4 7/8 x 1 1/8 x 1 1/8 and in very good condition

#1, White on Red Painted (Heavy) Iron Sign with Great Surface worn leather box 3 3/4" x 2 7/8"A big white "1" against a gorgeous red painted ground on iron what more could one want? Very iconic feeling, and just a perfect thing. 15" x 13 5 8", heavy, beautifully aged. General rusting and some paint loss around the edges, all to the good. It appears that the reverse side once bore a white 1 too, but the white paint is pretty much gone, so just a shadow of it remains. With two holes at top for hanging.
