Exceedingly rare circa 1898 small embossed tin sign with original string hanger. Matted and framed under glass. The actual piece measures 4"x9.75". Has the "cures headache" slogan on it. This one is 1 of only 2 known to exist and possibly commissioned by Pemberton. Call cond on this sign 7.7-8.2, but displays better. Has some mild-med rubbing, mostly on the outer 1" of the sign and around the raised border. A few very minor light shallow crimps. Some tiny paint chips and minor marks otherwise. This piece could very easily pre-date 1898 since there is no trademark at the tail.
