This is an early tin lithograph advertising sign. The sign advertises "Elwood Steel Fences" made by the American Steel & Wire Company in Chicago. The sign was made by "Chas. W. Shonk Co. Litho. Chicago". The lithograph shows a wonderful countryside scene with horses and an estate manor with children playing. The steel fencing can be seen in several applications in this piece. The sign is believed to be from the late 1800's to early 1900's. It is in good overall condition for the age. There are several holes and BB sized dings. A good, solid example of a scarcely seen advertising piece. The sign has been placed in a fantastic burl wood frame for stability. The frame measures 21.5" x 29.5".
