Description
c1920's Boy Scouts of America Troop 29 Wilmington DE. Rare one of a kind Boy scout sign from the first half of the 20th century. 11.5" tall x 8.25" wide without hanger. The hanger has a 29 stamped in the copper and 29 is scratched twice on the back. It has two holes in the bottom of the sign where another sign likely hung below it probably saying "troop 29" This was found by me in Austin, Texas fresh from an Estate but the clues lead me to believe it's from Troop 29 Wilmington DE which was founded in 1919 but closed in 1920 then later opened in 1928. The patina and a lifetime in this business lead me to believe it's either from right at 1919 or 1928, I'm not going to guess which one but I'm 100% sure it's a very old item 80+ years old. Natural expected wear. TW68
