Available for your bidding pleasure is this Original 19th Century Posting House Livery Stables Trade Sign. A post house was a house or inn where horses were kept and could be rented or changed out. Post riders could also be hired to take travelers by carriage or coach and delivered mail and packages on a route, meeting up at various places according to a schedule. This original sign dates back to the 1800's showing a beautiful wine red background with white lettering stating "Posting House Livery Stables General Smith's". This sign would have been stationed outside a post house advertising business to the public. This piece shows good condition with some fading to the paint indicative of age.
