Description

I can ship this scarce item to any country outside of the USA most economically using Priority Mail International from the United States Postal Service.
This is a rather heavy cast iron sign advertising Goodyear automotive tires. It measures 12 inches wide by 17 inches tall and weighs 10 pounds. It is a very interesting piece to me because it shows so many different modes of transportation from the later 1920s or early 1930s. They include:
a dirigible lighter than air craft
a monoplane airplane
a steamship
a train pulled with a steam locomotive
a large truck with a stake body
a medium truck with a van body
a large dump truck hauling dirt or gravel
a double decker passenger bus
a passenger bus with a roof luggage rack
two larger sedans
two coupes
and several vehicles that are too small to identify
I am surprised that neither a bicycle nor a motorcycle are shown on this great old advertising piece. A foundry and a large hanger for storing a dirigible are shown in the background. The Goodyear diamond tread automotive tire shown at the center is from the late 1920s or early 1930's.
This beauty still wears it's original gold/bronze colored paint and is very nice except for a few chips that don't appreciably detract from this gem. The removable insert at the bottom shows that this was displayed by a Goodyear tire dealer by the name of "Umstott & Wilson". I have no idea where they were located. Please help me if you have any idea where they may have been located.
The back of this piece shows that it was made by the Medallic Art Co. in New York. I believe they may also have manufactured watch fobs at about the same time this was made.
This would make a nice addition to any collection of signs or automobilia items. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn     4O6-799-I847    in Bozeman Montana USA
