John E Chapman Alto Pass Illinois Hardware Store Sign Antique Vintage 71x12 Tin

  
John E Chapman Alto Pass Illinois Hardware Store Sign Antique Vintage 71x12 Tin. This is an antique tin metal sign with wood frame behind it that measures 71" x 12". The sign reads, John E. It came out of old building in Alto Pass, Illinois. I believe this is sign from his hardware store he operated in late 1920's and 1930's in this town. The hardware business could have been in the old Milling Co.

Building which did have a hardware store at one time (and other businesses thru the years and still stands with a business today). I researched a bit and found some interesting things about owner that was born in 1911.

His obituary mentioned he played as pitcher in Cardinals Baseball "Farm System" as a young man. Other detail will be shared with next owner of this historic sign. It's very light weight and easy to handle. My photos are of the actual item you are getting.
