Description

My dad saw this photo when he was a little boy hanging in Throde Brothers Grocery and service station/blacksmith shop.   In Trout Lake Washington.  He and my brothers tore the building down in 1972 and found the picture tin type ad in a wall.  He gave it to my 4 year old daughter in 1980.   My daughter is now 36 years old.   My dad is deceased now he died at age 68 in 1997.   He was six or seven when Throde's had it hanging in their then store.  Back in 1934-35 he was born in 1928.   We have had it for years.  It belongs to my daughter and she MIGHT be interested in selling it.   Depends what it might be worth.  We had one person tell us they were not sure exactly how many thousands it might be worth but it was thousands and thousands and was extremely rare.  He could not give us an exact estimate as he did not deal in tin or metal advertizing things.   He said it had been over 15 years since h had seen any.    IT IS FOR SALE IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT but if not enough won't sell.
