Designed to be screwed into a wood surface, the sign has a hole in each corner to facilitate mounting. Although difficult to photograph, this sign is hand-painted on a fabulous piece of heavy beveled glass, no doubt the superior quality and strength of which has allowed the sign to endure intact all of its 108+ years!

The letters are painted in gold leaf outlined in black paint. The majority of the paint remains intact with very minor loss as seen in photos. The glass has a few very superficial flakes here and there along the beveled edge as well as a tiny bite to the lower right hand corner (see photo). These are the result of use and are quite minor and do not in any way detract from the presentation of the sign.
