Antique Scandinavian American FREDERIK Tin Litho Framed
Offered here is a relatively rare tin litho advertising sign for the Scandinavian - American Line. The litho shows the Frederik VIII ⿿ the flagship of that company's fleet of four ⿿ as she cruises into port. The piece has been molded to look like it's in an impressive carved burled wood frame ⿿ but it's all tin. The overall size of this interesting piece is 31 ÿ 40 and the image is 21 ÿ 31. Our best guess is that this very collectible advertising litho is circa late teens (the Frederik VIIIwas put into service in 1913) to early 1920s.

The artist's signature "F. Worms" is in the LL corner. The frame has lost its top right corner to corrosion and there are signs of corrosion on the image along the right side of image. See auction photos for details. Fading appears to be negligible. No egregious dent; no holes; no loss of image.
An identical sign in better condition was recently offered on line for $3750.
This one deserves your serious attention!
