SATURDAY EVENING POST 1951 4TH OF JULY IN DELHI, NY VINTAGE ENAMEL SIGN

THIS 24 GAUGE METAL SIGN WITH AN ENAMEL FINISH MEASURES 12" X 16" AND HAS A STORY:

THE "D" ON THAT BASE DRUM SUGGESTS THAT THIS IS THE STEVAN DOHANOS BRASS BAND, BUT THE ARTIST SAYS NO, IT IS TWO THIRDS OF THE DELAWARE ACADEMY CENTRAL SCHOOL BAND OF DELHI, NEW YORK.  AS THE MUSICIANS WOULDN'T ALL FIT INTO THE BANDSTAND.  DOHANOS DEDICATES HIS PAINTING TO THOSE WHO WERE SAD ABOUT NOT MAKING THE POST.  WHEN DOHANOS SET UP HIS EASEL OPPOSITE TOWN HALL, PASSERS-BY FORGATHERED TO SEE WHY, AND THE FIRST THING THEY KNEW, THEY WERE ON CANVAS.  MAKING IT AN ALL-AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY THEME.  DOHANOS ALSO INSERTED FOLKS FROM OTHER TOWNS.  IF BRINGING SO MANY STRANGERS TOGETHER CAUSES ANY CONFUSION, DOHANOS SAYS THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS BEHIND THE HOUSE AT THE RIGHT AND LOST CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAKEN THERE.

WE EXPECT TO HAVE THIS SIGN IN STOCK BY MID FEBRUARY AND ARE ACCEPTING ADVANCED ORDERS.
