I ABOUT FELL OVER WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS. 1878 AGRICULTURAL FAIR, AMBRIERES - LASSAY, FRANCE, SIX TEETH BOVINE AWARD, CAST IRON SIGN. I'VE COLLECTED THESE INTERESTING PLAQUES BEFORE, ALMOST ALL OF THEM IMPORTED FROM FRANCE BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE THIS OLD. NOR, DOES A INTERNET SEARCH, SHOW A SIMILARLY AGED EXAMPLE. THAT MAKES THIS EXTREMELY OLD PLAQUE, EXTREMELY RARE & HAS LARGE COLLECTIBILITY VALUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THE "6 TEETH", DESCRIPTION ON THE PLAQUE, IS A WAY TO IDENTIFY COWS BY THEIR AGE.
IF YOU LOOK ON ONLINE, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT SIMILAR PLAQUES, ALTHOUGH MUCH MORE RECENT IN AGE, SELL UP TO AND AROUND $70.00. THIS IS DECADES OLDER THEN THOSE PLAQUES & IS IN FACT, THE OLDEST FRENCH BOVINE PLAQUE THAT I'VE EVER SEEN ONLINE FOR SALE. $100.00 WITH FREE SHIPPING FOR DOMESTIC U.S. RESIDENTS. PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
