SST. Two Single Sided Tin C. 1920's Signs mounted back to back on their original post showing all of their original mounting hardware. Two outstanding examples of these extremely scarce pieces of Tin Advertising from Hood Tires showing highly detailed Flagman graphic on each with unique figural shape. CONDITION: Side one is outstanding throughout showing brilliant color & gloss with excellent shading between each color as well as sharp uniform details. Side one shows some very minimal paint nicks in the lower field near the Flag & Feet as well as some minimal spotting at the right side of his pants edge. The Face & Cap are both brilliant and overall would be extremely tough to improve upon, Grade 8.9+. Sign two is also brilliant throughout showing even brighter detail in the Flagman's Jacket with outstanding details. Side two shows an ultra clean field with only a minimal amount of faint surface scratch as well as some minor spotting at the left edge of the mans pants. Side two shows some minimal wear near the Flag & Feet as well as edge wear near his raised hand and elbow. The cap is excellent showing only minimal scuffing and his face is brilliant, Grade 8.75+. Signs are mounted to their original Post and show all of their original hardware but does not show the original base. An absolutely brilliant example overall in very tough to improve upon condition. One of the finest examples that has ever been offered publicly.
