The best of Ebay



Some bad, some wrong, some good… and some VERY GOOD… on ebay !!!!…
Incredible 1920's, early 30's LEE sign (5'x10')
"I have owned this sign for almost twenty years.  I purchased this sign in 1993.  It has been storage for last 15 years.  I have shown this sign to very few people.  Photos were sent to the Lee Company and their historian dates the sign to the very late 1910 's , 1920's or very early 1930 's.  The man who dated the sign, stated that it is the largest and one of the oldest Lee signs he has ever seen.  Parts of the sign were hand painted. You can see the brush strokes." (Informations by the owner)
