<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 2864916, member: 4727&quot;]I won this sign box at auction yesterday. As you’ll see, it was absolutely filthy when I brought it home. After a thorough clean, rewiring with new cloth-covered wire, and a new light bulb, I’m very happy with it! The sign appears to have been made by L.A. Elkington of New York City. The artwork, advertising Hohner harmonicas, is lithographed. Early research would seem to indicate the sign dates to somewhere between 1920 and 1927 (best guess is 1926-27) based on the name and address of the manufacturer and the slogan being used by Hohner. I’ve not been successful in finding another example of this sign so, if you know of one or have any info to add about it, I’d love to hear from you!</p><p><br /></p><p>Before:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/KbQO48Q.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/632EywW.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>After:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/i47mOD2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/v42FDHF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9417KL4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/UKn566E.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
