Finally we have hung our new sign out by the road. Unfortunately my favorite artichoke finial broke off when we were facing the sign post, but I think a little glue might do the trick. The beautiful iron bracket is an original that we picked up at Uncle Don's shop in Athol, Mass. It still had a shipping tag on it, sent from a company in Springfield to my grandfather's plumbing business. No date, but I'm guessing it might be in the 20's or 30's. The family connection makes it even more special.
