    Description

    This is an embossed tin sign. The measurements are of a large size at 27.5" x 39". The colors are bright and vibrant and it's in overall fantastic condition. Some areas of surface rust to the right side edges at spots. The manufacturer of this sign is on the bottom right hand corner. Made with three holes on each side so it can be hung on a wall.
    Kedem, Schapiro's, Manischewitz, Mt. Zion, Margulis, Mogen David, Sholom. These are the early to mid-twentieth century kosher wines for American Jews. I've seen signs for these brands, but they were always made from cardboard or paper. I have never heard of, and never have seen a metal sign for any kosher wine. I was in shock when I came across this, it is very rare, likely because this is not a New York / New Jersey / Connecticut / Massachusetts kosher wine, but it is from Michigan. So, this sign was likely made in very small numbers for wine shops in the state, and no doubt most of that small number were thrown away after a decade or two.
    Doing some research on Sholom wine, I found this incredible photo of a delivery truck.
    Doing some research on the maker of this sign, I found one other made by them for a different wine, in the same size, with the same color scheme. As you can see, one person states it is from the 1930's, while someone else says 1940's.
    In order to ship this safely so it arrives with no bends or damage, I have to buy an enormous box and pack it very well and tight with bubble wrap and styrofoam boards. To pack and ship this to anywhere in the USA (except Hawaii and Alaska) it must go by UPS (no shipping to P.O. boxes), and it will cost 5, which includes signature required and 0 insurance coverage. If you want this fully insured, it would cost another . I have no idea what the cost of shipping would be outside the USA. PICKUPS IN PERSON ARE WELCOME. I AM IN NEW YORK CITY.
