Humphrey Bogart Antique Sign
Humphrey Bogart is one of the most well known and acclaimed actors America has ever had, at least in the opinion of this late great actor’s many fans. This well-known actor made his acting debut in 1921 and transitioned from theater to films in 1929. In 1941 at the age of 42, he made the leap to leading man and became the noble cynic that every man wanted to be and almost every woman wanted.
The Humphrey Bogart antique sign shows Bogart at his best and is vintage black and white with a Bogart quotation that typified the man’s on screen and off screen personality. The quote “The only point in making money is so you can tell some big shot where to go.” is perfectly Bogart. This gorgeous Bogart sign would fit in almost any room of the house however; it is an ideal gift for the family room, TV room, or recreation room. This sign is made from tin and carefully worked and detailed.
John Wayne the Legend Antique Sign
John Wayne truly was an American hero and legend of the cinema. John Wayne was born Marion Mitchell Morrison and typified the American cowboy, tough, tall, and masculine. His distinctive deep voice, great stature and rugged good looks dominated and influenced the American perception of the cowboy from 1933 to until present day. John Wayne’s craggy profile is as well known to cinema fans as his deep voice and remarkable stature.
While only listed as the 13th greatest male actor of all time, in the minds of western movie fans he is and will always be number one.
