I would guess the tavern sign to date around the turn of the century or a little after. I have no background on my windows, except that they were bought at an auction in Northern Cal. and said to have come out of a San Francisco saloon, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it! BTW, did you get my email and photo of the Days of 49 Whiskey back bar bottle?Dennis Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680737387946274612.post-73838544347646043052014-02-05T07:57:25.581-08:002014-02-05T07:57:25.581-08:00The leaded glass transom sign was acquired from th...The leaded glass transom sign was acquired from the estate of a saloon owner about 20 years ago. According to the prior owner, the sign originally hung in Kingston Nevada. Not a heckuva lot there now, but back in the late 1860's through the 80's, and again from 1906 - 1911, Kingston was home to a large population of miners (many of them Cornish) who had come from England. Hence; tavern instead of saloon. The sign frame is 44" x 16", Eastlake in style, made of hardwood and finished with the typical blood varnish of the era. It pivots at the base (tipping inward at the top) to allow the blazing heat and cigar smoke to escape the saloon (tavern) during the nearly unbearable Nevada summers.Kentucky Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201818884914482275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680737387946274612.post-27681987323457256342014-02-04T21:15:27.119-08:002014-02-04T21:15:27.119-08:00Love the old advertising stuff, especially the lea...Love the old advertising stuff, especially the leaded glass window for the tavern.
