PLANTERS PEANUTS PORCELAIN SIGN.

PLANTERS PEANUTS PORCELAIN SIGN. A rare sign from Planter’s Peanuts with their monacled Mr. Peanut logo used as an advertising panel in a “Highway Lighthouse”. These lighthouses were found along roadways in the 1920s and 30s to alert motorists of roadway hazards that lay ahead. Constructed with a large blinking light atop a tall rectangular base, they proved too tempting a canvas for advertising companies to pass up. While the lighthouses have all long ago disappeared, here’s an opportunity to own a truly rare relic of a bygone automotive era that’s also an extremely rare Planters Peanut sign. The Highway Lighthouse Company who produced these signs had offices located in New York and Pittsburgh in the mid-1930s. SIZE: 27-1/2″ w x 60-1/4″ h. CONDITION: Fair to good. Scratches, scrapes and porcelain chips. The top has some corrosion and loss of metal. 1-8226 (20,000-25,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
