c. 1920s/1930s; C. A. Schrader - Glendale, CA
Set of industrial metal channel letters spelling out "CA Schrader Welding Supplies," formed from pressed metal with a softly rounded, dimensional profile. Each letter carries a raw, utilitarian finish with visible heat discoloration, oxidation, and shop wear that speaks directly to its working life. The larger "CA SCHRADER" letters dominate visually with bold curvature and depth, while the smaller "WELDING SUPPLIES" letters provide a secondary line of text, including a separate dot for the "i." Mounting studs remain on the reverse of several letters, reinforcing their original use as exterior or wall-mounted signage. The overall composition has a strong presence-equal parts typography and object-rooted in fabrication, trade, and mid-century commercial design.
Large letters: approx. 17" W x 19" H each
Small letters: approx. 6" W x 8" H each
