Description

The listing, Metal Sign advertising FAIRBANKS Gold Dust Washing Powder has ended.

This is a metal sign advertising FAIRBANKS Gold Dust Washing Powder. It is a 3D sign. It is so cute. And can you believe washing powder 5¢. There is a little rust at the bottom left . But anyone that collects this type of sign will know how to fix it. There is a tiny hole at each corner. It measures 9x12 inches.

Questions & Comments

Yes, that does help. The Desperate Co. was founded in 1987 and produces primarily reproduction signs. Considering the Fairbanks Powder was produced from the late 1800's to the 1930's, I think its safe to say this sign is a repro. That being said, it's still a nice sign and worth at least 9999 Listia credits. But had it been an actual Fairbanks sign, you would be looking at a credit goldmine. I hope my comment didn't damage your listing, I just wanted to know the whole story behind the item. I wish you luck on this.

Any idea what year you think this was produced?

No I don't. In the bottom corner it says Desperate Sign Co. Wadsworth, O. If that helps any. Thanks for asking.

I don't know you but I find this offensive. They stopped using the gold dust twins in the 50"s because it is racist.

I don't know you either and I'm sorry you feel offend. I don't mean to offend anyone.

I believe you and this is a collectors item. I was just reading about the gold dust twins and found out the information. I think the picture is racist but I don't think you are.
