Vintage Pre-1940s Mail Pouch Tobacco Porcelain Sign Heavy Iron Chew Smoke 52R For Sale

Up for sale is an authentic, vintage pre-war Mail Pouch Tobacco porcelain enamel strip sign. This is a heavy, thick iron plate—not a cheap modern tin or aluminum reproduction.This sign features the highly desirable early "Chew / Smoke" wording, dating it prior to the 1940s before Mail Pouch shifted to their later slogans.Features & Condition Details:• Excellent Center Field: The main body of the sign is in very good condition. The porcelain retains bright, clear colors and a strong gloss. The text area is exceptionally clean and highly presentable.• Authentic Patina: The edges show natural porcelain chipping from decades of outdoor display.• Mounting Holes: Two mounting holes are intact with natural wear, one has rust in the center (which I have not tried to pierce) and the other mounting hole has rusted through, giving it an unmistakable, honest look of authenticity.• Unique Route Marker: There is a vintage "52R" hand-painted in white on the sign, likely an original tobacco representative or merchant route/inventory code that adds great historical flavor.• Dimensions: Approximately 3.25" x 18"Please review the photos carefully to evaluate the condition and the back of the sign.
