The Iceman's Snow Scraper Thompsonville Conn. 1928 Advertising Sign
This is a neat old advertising sign or equipment nameplate for The Iceman's Snow Scraper, Manufactured by Peter A. Crombie Jr, Thompsonville Conn. Measures 16.25" wide by 6.5" high. I was able to find the patent for it, the patent number is 1,690,886. I've attached a screenshot of the patent image. I believe the sign is nickel or chrome plated brass. The letters are all slightly indented and filled with black paint. This could have been a nameplate that was affixed to the snow scraper, but I'm not sure. There is some plating loss in the lower right corner but the sign still displays nicely. This item will ship via Fedex. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

1909 Rare Antique "THE MOSLER SAFE CO. SIGN" Hamilton Ohio BRONZE BELL COVER VG
Condition for age as shown. Just remember enlarged photos or scans tend to exaggerate any flaws. I've blown this up big enough so that you can see what your buying. 1909 Rare Antique "THE MOSLER SAFE CO. SIGN" Hamilton Ohio BRONZE BELL COVER VG. I believe this is bronze because of the weight, it could be brass but my guess its bronze. Its not magnetic. If it was brass, i believe it would weigh less. Its got an edwardian look to it. I don't know what its exactly for. Door bell or door knocker, front door mail chute, may be a safe tumbler cover but i think the tumbler would have to be small. Nice piece of old advertising associated with a company that goes back to the days of jesse james. He wrote them a letter. I've bought alot out of the hamilton and cincinnati area over the last 30 years and i never saw another one of these.
