1940's WWII "Keep em' Flying" Handmade Painted Aviation Antique Sign
This was recently found by us in a barn in West Virginia. It is a world war two vintage sign in red, white and blue old paint with the famous WW2 patriotic saying "Keep em' Flying" handwritten on it. The typography is a little crooked, and it's 20th century folk art at it's best...funky, American and with a great look. Hand painted on a piece of wood about 1/4 inch thick it measures about 16.5 x 20 inches. Condition excellent, as seen. This old original sign is ready to hang in a great Americana setting!
