Featured Sign
Unearthed Treasure: One of The Rarest John Deere Signs Ever Found
This John Deere Gilpin Plow sign may be one of a kind within Deere advertising. It is likely one of the earliest metal signs produced, crafted using chromolithography by Wells & Hope Co. in Philadelphia during the late 1800s.
The sign has a rich history, with its vivid colors matching those from classic Gilpin trade cards, making it recognizable among collectors.
A similar version of this sign exists at Deere corporate, but this particular piece was discovered in a barn in Polson, Montana. It retains its original hanging wire and a partial Deere paper label on the back.
This unique sign shows some rustic charm yet remains vibrant enough to display beautifully, presenting collectors with a significant opportunity.
