Vintage Sign - "VIKING BAKING CO"

Description

VINTAGE SIGN FROM THE "VIKING BAKING CO". IN RESEARCHING THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS OBSCURE COMPANY I WOULD BEGIN LOOKING IN THE NEW ENGLAND AREA WHICH IS WHERE IT WAS FOUND. I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS SIGN TO BE FROM THE PERIOD OF THE 1940'S TO THE 1950'S.
THIS SIGN IS UNUSAL IN IT'S FORM. IT'S MADE OF A THICK AND HARD COMPOSITION BOARD TYPE MATERIAL WITH A WAX FEEL TO IT. I HAVE SEEN LARGE, OLD COMMERCIAL BAKERY BOXES AND CARRIERS MADE FROM THIS MATERIAL. THE LETTERS ALMOST APPEAR TO BE HANDPAINTED BUT MORE LIKELY THEY WERE DONE WITH SOME FORM OF DECAL PROCESS. THERE ARE HOLES IN EACH CORNER FOR SECURING TO A HARD SURFACE.
MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROX. 11 1/2" x 22 ".
CONDITION IS AS SHOWN. A FEW SCUFFS AND BENDS, MOSTLY ACROSS THE TOP AS SHOWN IN PICTURE, BUT GENERALLY IN GOOD CLEAN SHAPE.
ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES OR INFORMATION NEEDED, JUST ASK
