Gonna need some more help, I've literally spent hrs. searching for this particular metal/tin sign,I do know that a magazine called Liberty was made in the 1900's. this is a sign !
Week
Ending
July 21, 1928

a circle with a bold 5c underneath week ending
Liberty (to the right of the above Week Ending July 21, 1928)
below that in (orange colored writing) A Weeky for Everybody

an embossed picture of a Dad dressed like an indian witha small head dress on left hand over his mouth,right hand what look to be a tomahawk,a blue couch with an infant/baby laying down on hs belly with is mouth open and eyes closed,dad is weARING a shirt very light blue pair of grey slacks,orangeish/red tie gry ocks and a pair of black laced dress shoes on. To the right of the couch there is some type of signiture,its very clear I just cant ake out the lettering it almost looks foreign.

at thevery bottom of the picture are the words : Holding ~ York ~Palmer ~ Woodhouse ~ Green(names are also in black)  (squigly lines are again orangish/red)
1/2" from the outside of sign is bordered in navy bue, to the right of the dad/man are the words Big Chief -(under that)Heap Money,thepicture part itself is a tan background.

The sign measures 14" wide X 18" long , also has a small hole in each corner
sign seems to be in very good conition small spots of surface rust near each one of the 4 holes,the back has a small amount of orage surface rust.

maybe someone here knows aboutthis sign other than what I've typedand  possible good condition bll park value,again thnk you for al and anyhelp, I also tried to show some of the coloring you may have to highlight it to see the the orangeish/red writting.

With much appreciation,

Many many reproductions of tin signs are being made, even signs that never existed are being made... and I am sorry to say I think this is a new piece made to look old.

It does not show appropriate wear (rust and scratches) for its age
Chances are slim that back in the early 1900's a metal or porcelain sign would have been made to advertise this magazine.

The repro metal signs sell for about $10.00

Thats still cool, wish it would've been an original. If it was original what would the approx. value have been ? It does look a litle newer other than some rust spots which is easiely done with water or left outside. Guess I need to start to learn the differnces.I hope ya'll or you dont mid helping me out on items Ive researched and cant seem to find no mater what,there is 3 of us in the house loking items up with different wording on it,gets to be a bit crazy.Again TY very much.My wife loves it cause she gtsto keep some vintage pieces, so she probably is praying that the items cat be found.
