    DESCRIPTION:
    In fabulous vintage condition. There's only one small condition issue that only slightly perhaps mars its otherwise pristine, near immaculate surfaces and that's a small, partial fissure or break in the lucite, that comes in from the upper right and stops about 2" into the field. It's barely noticeable and no attempt was or has since been made to glue and fasten this area together with any kind of fixative. It happened most likely when the vintage signage was taken down and removed from the wall where it had hung for many years. It was recently discovered in the back storage room of a commercial building that was being renovated in the
    Wolfsboro
    region of
    Lake Winnipesaukee,
    located in the
    central New Hampshire region.
    It features a stacked, terraced, cut-out
    Modernist
    color lucite assemblage of the now gone, once iconic
    'Old Man of the Mountain,'
    that once attracted visitors to the famous
    Franconia Notch mountain range
    from all over the country and world. The lucite signage was made for the
    New Hampshire Finance Corporation Subsidiary,
    a business, finance and investment entity
    since 1924.
    Absolutely terrific. These
    Modernist
    artifacts, especially in this kind of relatively well-preserved overall vintage condition, aren't just falling out of the sky anymore and have become increasingly more and more scarce, the more we are removed from the
    mid-20th century
    and many of these vintage objects are either unfortunately discarded or destroyed, finding their new homes on the bottom of landfills or in trash incinerators. Luckily for this piece of wonderful
    Modernist
    color lucite signage, this was not the case and it was luckily spared the wrecking ball.
    A great
    mid-20th century

    Simply magnificent.
    CONDITION:
    Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
