WONDERFUL EARLY 19TH CENTURY TAVERN SIGN DEPICTING GEORGE WASHINGTON ON HORSE. This outstanding early 19th Century tavern sign for the Scribner House was originally found in Massachusetts. The pine three board self framed sign depicts George Washington in his General uniform atop a great white stallion all within a landscape of trees. This is the central images in the middle of the sign with “Scribner” above and “House” below in yellow and red letters. On the top left and right of the side panel are gold stars. The reverse of the sign also with “Scribner House” depicts a vignette in the center with a very early sulky horse and a driver. The sign retains what appears to be original old rusted forged hardware on either side. SIZE: Approx. 38” sq. CONDITION: The paint on the side with George Washington is worn but still quite strong. The paint on the reverse side is much worn. Overall the sign has a great appearance. A wonderful patriotic image. 8-87083 (4,500-8,500)
