    Ditto- I think the small 'serifs' (tiny 'tails' or flourishes at the end of each IBM letter) and the period btw each character- say to me anyway, pre 1947.
    PS- But,what the heck does DINK mean ?
    PSS- You could a small Library with variations of the THINK sign !:woot:

    These were popular IBM desk pieces for quite a while. IBM had a large campus in the town where I live, lots of people I knew worked there so these desk plaques used to show up now and then at local garage sales. I've actually sold two of them over the years, and they do very well!

    This is a desk one versus a wall plaque. I've never found a wall plaque. The faux wood grain to me almost suggests 60s/70s but I suppose could be earlier. Here is one with the same label on the back.

    Nice find! I "THINK" they are very cool! A keeper!
