John Deere Past and Present Tin Sign - 6885

This metal sign features the artwork of Walter Haskell Hinton, showing three generations of farmers: a grandfather and child watching the child's father plow a field on a John Deere tractor. Hinton created several advertisements for John Deere, and one of his paintings featuring a leaping deer was used as the inspiration for the Deere logo in the middle part of the twentieth century. Various John Deere logos and tractors line the sides of the sign, and it reads "Three Centuries of Quality", "Farm Tractors & Implements" at the bottom.
