I was out today on a pick with some friends and came across this old 1900's Waitt & Bond Blackstone Cigar porcelain sign. The sign is 12" x 36" and is embossed. There are four colors on the sign, white, blue, yellow and some black. The sign is all original with a little blemish on the letter E. The sign was found in the little town of Monticello, Indiana home of Lake Shafer, population 5,378. Waitt & Bond was created in 1867 in Massachusetts. Best known product was Blackstone cigars.

Can just picture GENTLEMEN sitting around a table with stogies and conversation, and a glass of their favorite drink. Excellent find, glad signs of that quality are still around.
That is one sweet looking sign, great pick! It goes good with all your other collectibles!
