Creamy White Painted Vintage Metal Channel Letter "U" old folk art Both the face and edges

Both the face and edges of the mitten shape show old red paint

I especially love the loss of paint on the face of this one

these definitely make me want to color something

while his one cocked foot asserts complete engagement with his surroundings and readiness to rise at any moment

they're all Magritte-ian fellows speaking to The Treachery of Images

Creamy White Painted Vintage Metal Channel Letter "U" old folk art Both the face and edgesAs far as letters go, U is a pretty good one, standing in for "you" and also making a nice rounded arch when flipped upside down. And nice creamy white paint on this metal one, too, which I'd just treat as a found sculpture and set on the shelf. 12" t x 8 5 8" w x 2 1 16" d (letter); 4" deep including attached screws. Good condition, structurally great, plenty of wear to the surface as evident, all to the good I think.
