{"product_id":"early-smaltz-printing-trade-sign","title":"Early Smaltz “Printing” Trade Sign","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong, narrow wooden trade sign with bold, hand-rendered \"PRINTING\" lettering across a black-painted ground. The surface shows the characteristic grit and matte texture associated with smaltz work-ground glass embedded into paint to create a durable, light-catching finish-though now softened by decades of wear. The cream-colored lettering stands in stark contrast, slightly irregular at the edges, reinforcing its hand-painted origin. Faint remnants of earlier red paint flecking through the surface suggest either an earlier layer or shop overspray, adding to its layered history. Small metal hanging loops remain at the top edge, indicating it was once suspended in a storefront or workshop setting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows heavy age and use including surface wear, paint loss, embedded grime, scattered scratches, and edge wear; lettering remains legible with strong visual presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n44\" W x 9.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 20377 - 042126\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44032945324075,"sku":"20377","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/9d36cfa4-df56-585f-92ae-a331f41ed591.jpg?v=1778022092","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/early-smaltz-printing-trade-sign","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
