Hand-painted Cleveland Indians sign circa 1948 featuring Chief Wahoo, who has now been phased out for the most part, in no small part due to depictions of Native Americans like the one seen on this sign. This was taken off the side of a paddle boat from a Cleveland area amusement park and is on particle board with great colors done in acrylic paint. It is die cut with jutting feathers, and conspicuous in its political incorrectness. One of only two known.
