#SIGN035 - Florida Tangerines Sign with Tangerines in a Large Glass Bowl

Vintage color 14" wide cardboard store sign. Nice image with a glass bowl from the time period filled with tangerines. Also has a small image of the Florida Tangerine Special Train. Says "The Zipper-Skin Fruit". These are from the early 1950s which is when this style of artwork was used for Florida citrus products. The space to the right was where they wrote the prices. The reverse has writing on it too so the sign could be seen from either side. Reverse says "Florida Tangerines The Zipper-Skin Fruit". They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's. The store got signs with their deliveries and threw them in piles in the basement. One of our long time customers rescued these (thank's Bob) and a number of others. These are in excellent condition. Of note, magazine ads for Florida Oranges from the 1950s retail for $8 - $10. These should retail for substantially more. Nice unused condition.
