Great old Western Union double sided hanging porcelian sign . Found a good example of the sign that would have hung in a old railroad depot Or out in front of a old store. Not sure but I think the sign is front the 1940’s
Great sign for a fantastic company, what a history - they were about the only US company who could wire money to someone across the country years ago, and think they started with riders on horseback in the dangerous Old West
A Western Union Messenger Boy circa 1911:
