This 1950s vintage iron shingle sign is a stunning piece of craftsmanship. The duck design is beautifully hand-painted with vibrant colors that still pop after decades. At 50x50cm, it’s substantial and makes a bold statement on my wall. The iron construction feels solid and durable, though it’s quite heavy. While the price point is steep, the authentic elf stock and cultural significance make it worthwhile for serious collectors. Shipping was careful but took longer than expected.
