ADDENDUM (12/7/2021, 9:15am ET):  This sign is from the 60s (most likely the mid-60s) and not from 1977 as was previously stated online and in the printed catalog.  

 

Rare double-sided wooden sign, measuring 48" in length, offering "Seasons Greetings" to fans of the Cleveland Barons AHL hockey team from the mid-60s. The hand-painted sign displays the same colorful image and text on each side, including a cartoon Barons player. Cleveland Barons memorabilia seldom appears at auction. This is the first example of this sign we have ever seen and we would not be surprised if it is the lone survivor. This piece was displayed outdoors and has suffered from being exposed to the elements for an extended period of time. One side is in far lesser condition than the other, with heavy splits in the wood. Both sides display staining, with wood rot prevalent along the borders. In Fair condition overall, but with one side much more attractive than that suggested by its technically accurate grade. 48x24x1". Please note: the size and/or weight of this lot will necessitate an increased shipping charge.
