Up for sale is this antique self-framed metal Egg-O-See cereal sign. The sign is backed with a wooden frame and attached with nails. It dates to the early 1900’s-probably no later than 1910. It’s in as is, as found, as photographed, “what you see is what you get” condition. The “frame” is metal with faux wood painting. There are dents, dings, metal loss, rust, paint loss/fade, warps and anything else I may have failed to mention. The scene is a charming one with a little boy sitting at the breakfast table. His beloved dog is on one side and his cats are on the other. In the middle of the table is a box of Egg-O-See cereal. He is looking at the dog and is telling him Dere ain’t gon’er be no leavins. ” There appears to have been some paint touch ups to the “frame area and the mustard yellow border. It may have been exposed to moisture at some point, from what I’m guessing. The Meek Company from Coshocton, Ohio produced this sign. Their name would have been originally printed in the bottom right of the yellow border. These signs are extremely hard to find in any condition. The sign measures about 16 1/2″ wide, 10 1/4″high and is 3/4 thick-deep. It weighs approximately 1 lb. It would be a terrific addition to someone’s early advertising collection or home decor and I hope someone will love it! Thanks so much for looking, God Bless, and happy shopping??
