ABOUT THIS SIGN
The same 1946 Be Careful With Fire design in its standard orange-and-brown colourway, Smokey pouring the pail over a rock ring against a stand of pines. Early campaign plates in the original colours are the ones people hang as a pair with the variant, and this is the version most collectors picture.
Marked on the face: "Be careful with fire", "Drown it - Stir it - Feel it", Smokey in his ranger hat; MADE IN U.S.A. - 1946 - U.S. Department of Agriculture and State of California, on the lower rim.
Size: approximately 12" in diameter (305 mm), measured by the seller.
CONDITION
Judge the condition from the photographs - the sign is shown from every angle, including the reverse and the mounting holes, and nothing is cropped out. On porcelain of this age, fine specking in the enamel, small chips at the edges and wear around the mounting holes are normal and are not faults. After decades of age and storage a sign may also sit slightly warped or a little bent rather than perfectly flat - it still hangs and displays fine, and you will not notice it once it is on a wall. This one is not cracked and has not been restored, repainted or touched up. Want a close-up of a particular area, or an exact measurement, before you buy? Message us and we will take it the same day.
