c. 1930s; Keene, NH
Painted convex tin corner sign for Chabot's Barber Shop, featuring hand-painted portraiture and bold block lettering. The central image depicts a smiling, clean-cut gentleman above the words CHABOT'S BARBER SHOP in blue with a red arrow banner highlighting "BARBER." This business operated out of a lowered entrance on West and Court Streets in Keene, New Hampshire. The back of this piece has a series of brackets for mounting, along with a line of wire for hanging - specifically intended to be mounted to a corner of a building or column. Barbershop signage of this era often relied on local sign painters rather than mass production, giving each example unique charm and personality.
