This Fine Relic Has Been Sold. Thank you! CARVED WOOD & POLYCHROME FISH MONGER CHANDLERY SIGN   SIZE: 46" H x 15" W x 3" D           WEIGHT:  11 pounds Price SOLD     Presented is a hand carved wood figure of a Fishmonger wearing his apron and holding a large size fish for the customer's approval.  This wonderful  old sign hung in the famous Anthony's Pier 4 restaurant at Boston's Harbor front since 1963, when it was closed in 2012, to make way for the re-development of Boston's harbor front. During its heyday, this restaurant  was the eating and watering ground for the city's elite, movie stars, politicians and hundreds of tourist daily.   The sign is painted with a brown straw hat, brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a white shirt yellowed with age, and red and white tie. His apron is the classic blue and white striped colors of the Turn of the 20th Century, and covers most of his green pants and black shoes.  Closeup of top section of sign   Figures such as this were commonly used as a trade sign in front of Sea Food shops and by restaurants selling sea food to catch the attention of prospective customers.   Closeup of the fish being shown    CONDITION: The paint is in generally good condition on the front with only a few minor scratches and dings. The back is painted flat black and has some paint drippings. The wood which used to surround one of the screw holes by which it was hung as shown on the left shoulder is missing, but this should not be a problem in re-hanging.  Lower part of sign showing green pants and black shoes   SHIPPING:  Flat rate shipping to the 48 contiguous States is $115.00 OUR UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE: If not completely satisfied with your purchase, it may be returned, if without damage, within five days of receipt in its original packaging.
