Riflemen016 Posted October 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2016 this weekend at a little antique shop I found this old sign named to a major w.k Mitchell and mrs It's a really neat looking sign and defiantly has some age to it It seems to be made out of thin pressed wood but I am not really sure I was wondering if anyone could help me find some information on him and better date it Link to post Share on other sites

sundance Posted October 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2016 Nice. I hope I'm not being dense but what do you suppose "R. E., Cary + Treff" means. Kids' names? Link to post Share on other sites

gwb123 Posted October 8, 2016 Share #7 Posted October 8, 2016 As noted, it looks to be a sign for on post quarters. I would guess those are the kid's names.

Bluehawk Posted October 8, 2016 Share #8 Posted October 8, 2016 Not to be a pest, but would you mind posting a photo of this sign taken from the edge? We see front and back, but maybe if I could see the edge something more era-based would come up...
