The right place to show this.

It seemed a little out of place when I posted it on the WDF, but this place is just right!

This sign, cica 1890's, is said to be for a Certified Ball Watch Inspector. I picked it up at an antique show. The letters and design are ground/cut from the reverse and filled with some sort of gold material that looks like a foil, then covered with a red substance like a paint.

It now hangs on the wall of my Office.

I just love it. I would have jumped at it, too.

My mom used to work with it. It's gold, mashed unbelievably thin, then applied to a tacky glue. The back is filled, and seealed as the gold is very fragile.
Funny stuff, a puff of air would fly it all over the house!
Cool sign!!
