Description:

This massive tin lithographed sign is a work by Arthur W. Woelfle (1873-1936), whose signature is in the bottom right corner. The piece portrays the inside of a hunting cabin after a successful hunt. At the bottom center of the piece is an open whiskey bottle with detailed labeling for the Paul Jones & Co. "Four Roses" whiskey. Also on the table near the whiskey are some playing cards, a pipe, some cartridges and shotgun shells, a pair of boots, and a whitetail buck's head. A coat and hat hang on the wall along with a red fox, various upland game birds, and some ducks including a mallard. Leaning against the wall is a side by side shotgun that may be an L.C. Smith, and a Winchester semi-deluxe Model 1894 rifle is hanging on the wall at the top of the sign. The visible portion of the sign measures approximately 45 x 30 7/8 inches. It is mounted in a ornate gold painted molded frame. The frame as a whole measures approximately 53 1/2 x 39 inches. These pre-prohibition era advertising lithographs were produced in very limit numbers, and are rarely offered on the collector market.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall, the tin lithograph itself showing vibrant colors and very minimal fading. The frame is fine with some mild wear, handling/storage evidence, and a few scattered minor cracks in the molding. A very attractive piece that would fit perfectly in your gun room, bar, office or study!
