And the only local sign I picked up. The Leatherwood Company was a dairy in Bluefield West Virginia that started producing in the 1950's as far as I can tell. I have one of their bottles and a plastic crate, so when I spotted the dealer with two Leatherwood tin signs I had to ask about them, while the prices were pretty much normal, I just couldn't invest that much in a "hey that's neat" item so, I ask if they had anything else. They informed me that they had two cardboard signs, both of the same basic design, but one was larger than the one I bought. It is a Merry Christmas sign from the company which was small enough and cheap enough to justify my picking it up.
