Description
Scarce, ca. 1860's, stone lithographed paper sign for Dixon's Stove Polish (by Sarony, Major & Knapp lithographers). Has strong original colors and displays very nicely, w/ a little non-detracting very faint background staining and trace age toning (basically a strong C. 8/+ overall appearance). Framed and matted. Note: research shows this lithographer operated under this name from 1857-1863. Additional Info: We opened up the back of the frame and were pleased find the piece has a decent amount of margins present (much more than we were expecting based on the tightness of the mat cutout). We have added photo of the sign out of the frame.
