Free delivery to Iowa Gas.

This is a seldom-seen Wisconsin Division American Automobile Association “dangler” sign. It's from the late 1930’s or early 1940’s. It is a two-sided porcelain AAA sign. It includes the original decorative iron hanging bracket.

Obvious, what makes it special is the Wisconsin personalization and the dangling configuration. The top rectangle sign measures 22-1/2” by 5-1/2”. while the bottom oval sign is 22-1/2” by 16-3/4”. The overall condition is pretty good, as shown. Both sides are equal quality. Good color, and good gloss. I believe the outer perimeter sign will clean up further, (using Barkeeper’s Friend). I spent about an hour cleaning this piece already, and kind of ran out of steam.

This is a sign I personally removed and purchased from a near-by, small town Chevrolet dealer (now long gone). This was in the 1980’s. The sign had been on one of their outside walls for years.

The price is $1,800. As I noted, I'll have this sign at Iowa Gas. $100 of the sale proceeds will go to my wife (who is shown holding the sign). That may make her smile (for a few minutes).
