Old sign

[jgtrev]

I found this at my grandfather's the other day, not anything valuable but still interesting. The sign is metal, but it has a porcelain shell where the lettering is in. The rust came from an old bucket or something that was on top and bottom of it in the ground.

very cool find indeed! Try the citric acid bath like plehbah mentioned. I saw a bunch of cans that TT did that with and they turned out awesome! Good find and welcome to Tnet too!
