Wooden Glass Cutter Trade Sign Philadelphia Pine, sheet metal Circa 1940-1950 This trade sign depicting a glass cutter was found hanging in the window of a Philadelphia hardware store during the 1950's. A dollar bill has been included with the image to help you gauge its size. The sign is made primarily of carved, painted wood (probably pine), with a metal cutting wheel and metal eye hooks for hanging. It appears to be hand-made and one-of-a-kind. It measures approximately 31" long by 5 3/4" at the widest. The sign is in terrific condition; it does have multiple minor nicks, scratches and abrasions, but they do not detract from the overall appearance and in fact attest to its age and authenticity.
