Found what I believe to be an 1800s wooden trade sign in an abandoned and collapsed shack in the middle of the woods. It is a bit torn on name unfortunately. Not metal, but still a sign and cool!

Very cool! I don't know if it's necessarily 19th century, since that sort of lettering was used several decades into the 20th century, but it's still probably 80-90 years old at the youngest and could very well date back to the 19th century. Not many signs of that era left out there to find, especially wooden ones!

Yup! Great to save it from rotting away in the woods!
