c. 1910s; mfd. by The Meek Company for Paul Jones & Co. - Louisville, KY
Curved-edge self-framed tin advertising sign for Paul Jones Pure Gin, featuring a nostalgic turn-of-the-century vignette of two barefoot boys helping one another over a wooden fence. The slogan "No Splinters in this Gin" anchors the playful scene, pairing small-town Americana with early 20th-century spirits promotion. The surface retains vivid color and tonal warmth, rendered in soft lithographic layers with a satin finish that has aged gracefully.
Produced by The Meek Company of Coshocton, Ohio-one of the earliest and most renowned lithographers of tin advertising signs in America, celebrated for their richly detailed imagery and distinctive contoured metal formats.
