Moultrie Georgia Advertising Sign Thermometer Banking Company Taylor Permacolor

Description

Moultrie Georgia Advertising Sign Thermometer Banking Company Taylor Permacolor.
This is a great early Georgia Advertising piece. It is mainly wood with metal fittings on the thermometer. Please study pictures closely for details on condition. Note chip on bottom right corner. Expect wear. 20.5 inches tall and 5 inches wide. This is a great piece of early real advertising. My best guess to age is around 1930 give or take.
