Lemp Self-Framed Tin Signs

Column

Much in the same manner as chargers, self-framed tin signs have long been a favorite of collectors due to their sharp, detailed lithography, vivid colors, and large size. Produced for interior display, self-framed sign signs are formed from one piece of tin with the central image typically edged with a simulated wood-toned frame. Here are several examples of Lemp self-framed tin signs from various manufacturers.
