EARLY AMERICAN HAND MADE ANTIQUE TOP HAT TRADE SIGN
THIS IS BETTER THAN MOST THAT YOU SEE AS THIS IS HEAVY METAL HAMMERED INTO THE SHAPE OF A TOP HAT. MOST THAT YOU SEE ARE MADE OF TIN OR FLAT SHEET METAL.
A wonderful early antique handmade, hand painted, metal top hat used as a trade sign. Several layers of original paint can be seen. Various metal contraptions/brackets are attached to the hat inside and out where the maker or owner attached the hat to a bracket which was attached to a building. Assorted nicks with wonderful chippy paint but overall nice condition for being over 200 years old. A few long-time antique dealers have looked at this sign and the consensus is that it’s from around Circa 1800-1860. Some have said it could be pre-1800.
Antique trade signs are a very desirable and displayable items that were originally made to advertise a business. Many have a wonderful patina as they aged outside the shop or business for many years. Apothecary signs, as well as signs from the offices of doctors and dentists are especially collectible. Old tavern or pub signs are sought after too. While some are three dimensional figures carved from wood, others are painted wooden boards or made from sheet metal.
Selling only Genuine Authentic antiques & rare American Flags
I have consulted with numerous museums across the country including The National Archives, PBS, various film production companies for national TV Shows, major motion pictures, major collectors, and large and small auction houses over the years in selling, loaning, describing, documenting, and identifying various antique flags and antique textiles.
I have been interviewed for many national magazines and newspaper articles on antique flags and rare Americana.
Our flags and rare Americana have been featured in numerous antique trade publications, newspapers and major national decorator magazines, national TV shows and major movies.
I have also worked with numerous major retail corporations, major on-line retailers, major on-line catalogs, many prominent national interior designers, and architects.
Historical Americana has been buying and selling rare, unique antique relics and rare American Flags and Americana for over twenty years. I have personally seen and handled and purchased thousands of antiques & antique flags over the years.
