Featured Wall Hanger

I found a wall hanger with the saying HOUSES ARE MADE OF BRICK AND STONE HOMES ARE MADE OF LOVE ALONE and vibrant flower colors. On the back of the plaque I can not read the inked stamped maker mark on the back as to whom made it. I could not find anything out about this in my research. On the back of the box is a price tag that says MEIGS, Indianapolis, 10 10, IP, .50 on it. Maybe something there that can help lead to who made or maybe the inked stamped maker maker. Dimensions of the plaque are about 7 1/4" lenght x 3 1/4" width x 1/4" height. I would like to request help on how old this is and the maker of this plaque. Thank you for your help. Rob

 

I can't help with the maker but it looks like c.1940s-50s souvenir shop merchandise. Possibly imported by the boat load.

 

I think it is 50's or 60's. Some of these were Made In Japan, some in USA, Many sold in little mom and pop stores or Woolworth's kind of stores as novelty items.

I have sold some, not the same exact one as yours with different sayings. I often find them at estate sales in kitchens or in the bar area of the house already on the wall.

Looks like it is in nice condition as the box helped save it.
These items sell depending on the saying.
Yours is nice and homey. Hope that helps some.

 

Here is a plaque on etsy similar not the same as yours. I like yours better

I will put $15 and see what happens on ebay. Thank you for the information. Rob
