I'm taking lots of pics with my new camera. I need practice, so just bear with me. The peacock feather fan belonged to my great,great aunt Annie. It's from the early 1900's. The Grape Nuts sign was in her basement(her husband owned a butcher shop and I guess he had access to advertising of all kinds). I love it because of the dog and the little girl. It's pretty large and metal.

Wow, Janice, very nice items. I love old metal signs. In the fan in a case? It's beautiful. MB

Yes, Marybeth. It's in a big fanbox hanging on my dining room wall. The designs are hand painted on and are an oriental motif.
