Vintage 1950’s Fanny Farmer Candies Smalt Wood Advertising Sign
Founded in 1919 by Frank O’Connor in Rochester, New York, Fanny Farmer quickly grew into the largest manufacturing retailer of candy in The United States with more than 400 locations. This incredibly rare two sided smalt wood sign out of Auburn, New York, one of their earliest expansion locations and just an hour from the original factory, features white text over a black front. Overall in excellent condition. Age expected weathering with semi worn edges. Font clear to read with just enough patina. Smalt signs scratch and ware easily making it even more remarkable that this sign survived. Late 1940’s to early 1950’s.
