This sale is for a vintage brass sign that measures 9 1/2 inches in width, 4 inches in height and about 1/4 inch in thickness. This piece weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces. The sign is marked "FRANK MESSER & SONS  GENERAL CONTRACTORS  CINCINNATI, OHIO".  The back of this sign speaks to the age of the piece because of its discoloration.  Online sources show that this company started in 1932 and did work on a number of large projects in Cincinnati including Carew Tower, the Terrace Hilton Hotel, the iconic Union Terminal Building, the Wright Aeronautical Building, (which is now GE Aviation) and did work at Wright Field in Dayton, OH as well as the old Quaker Distillery Warehouses in Lawrenceburg, IN.  This is a small list of the many projects that Messer has worked on through the years.  The company is now called Messer and is an employee-owned establishment. This sale includes the easel that is pictured. Study the pictures carefully as there are no returns.  This seller does not ship internationally.
