Description
This is of the most incredible early automobile milk glass and smaltz signs we have seen, featuring the classic Buick script lettering. When lit, the sign is second to none.

The black border and edges have areas of general age wear including a few small paint chips. The milk glass "Buick" letters are in nice condition. The reverse has similar wear in the field with light wear and fading in the perimeter. The lower left edge of the milk glass "B" has a small repair to the bottom left corner. The can is original and in very good condition. We have never seen another example of this sign. It presents exceptionally well and would be a centerpiece for any automobilia collection.
