I recently obtained straight and other razors, assorted barber shop items and this very nice old sign. This sign was issued to a member of the Associated Master Barbers of America by the Associated Master Barbers and Beauticians of America. A likeness of the signature of the General Secretary - Treasurer Blair J. Sharp, appears on the front. Other markings include and eagle with shield in the corner, the corporate seal in the other corner and across the middle in large letters it says "It Pays To Look Well". The issue number on sign is 41768. The sign is made of heavy metal or tin with a fiber type backing material. Much of the lettering is stamped into the metal then painted. Sign is 15" long and 6" wide with beveled edges and a small chain to hang it attached to the top. Condition is good with a few light rust spots showing through the colorful paint. A great piece for the collector and one that is hard to find. Sold to the highest bidder without reserve and "as is". Watch my listings for numerous razor and barber items. *** BUYER INFORMATION ***On items I sell I try to provide as much descriptive and photographic information on condition, size, known damage and what it is you are buying as my space and knowledge will allow. I try to provide accurate information as possible and will try to answer additional questions when asked, if possible. I have no desire to deceive my buyers, but I do sell my items "as is" unless specified otherwise in my listing. I want your business, but if you are not a serious bidder or have no valid U.S. address, please do not bid. International bidders are blocked as I do not ship out of the U.S. as a rule. Please do not ask for exceptions ( see additional info on this under shipping section) *** SHIPPING ***Shipping rates listed apply to the continental United States, shipping to AK and HI may result in higher costs. Contact me prior if this is the case. Depending on method of payment, most of my items are shipped within 1 day, not counting weekends, holidays or unforeseen problems ( see payment method info at bottom of this section). Some items require special packing or construction of a wood crate to protect your item and these will take longer for the shipping process. I can not control the length of time your item is spent in shipping, this is in the hands of the delivery service. West coast delivery and delivery during holiday times take longer and if speed is important you may request priority delivery on some items. Cost will be greater and this should be requested prior to packaging. I do not pad my shipping costs. I try to figure the shipping weight and cost of your item as close as possible, add costs of packing materials and conformation, this cost is your shipping cost. Handling costs are usually only added on items that require crating or special packaging and this is usually noted in listing. If a shipping cost appears high, it is usually because of weight or package dimensions, not because I am trying to make my money on a ridiculous shipping cost as some sellers do. When your item is shipped, you are provided with a conformation or tracking number to show you that your item was shipped in a timely manner and to let you monitor its progress. I ship only to confirmed U.S. addresses, no box numbers accepted for UPS shipping. NO SHIPPING OUT OF U.S.A. Nothing personal for buyers outside of the U.S., but due to several bad experiences shipping out of country, I have blocked bids from buyers with addresses not in the U.S. except for a few noted listings. If you are from another country and have an address in the U.S. I can ship your item to, you may contact me to have your block removed. To save buyer on shipping costs, I will usually offer shipping via Media Mail when it applies, but this is usually slower and if time is a factor you may wish to select a different method. When an item fits within a flat rate U.S.P.S. box and it saves money, I often offer this method of shipping. I will also offer standard U.S.P.S. parcel post or priority shipp... read more
