RARE Vintage MOHAWK TIRES Metal Advertising RECAPPING MOLD TIME SIGN #2
RARE Vintage MOHAWK TIRES Metal Advertising RECAPPING MOLD TIME SIGN #2. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT TO ROSEBUD’S COLLECTIBLES AND RESTORATIONS SHOP. LISTING IS FOR RARE Vintage MOHAWK TIRES Metal Advertising RECAPPING MOLD TIME SIGN #2. SIGN WAS TO SET THE TIME FOR THE RECAPPING OF TIRES. THE TIME YOU PUT ON THIS SIGN IS WHEN THEY NEED TO STOP COOKING. THE DAYS OF RECAP TIRES ARE GONE AND THE DAY OF MOHAWK TIRES ARE GONE. MOST FOLKS NOW HAVE NEVER SEEN A RECAPPED TIRE. THE SIGN IS PAINTED METAL WITH THE COLORS OF GREEN, YELLOW AND WHITE. SIGN IS 12 IN. MOHAWK RUBBER COMPANY WAS STARTED IN 1913. THIS IS A SIGN THAT GOES ON THE WALL OR DOOR OUTSIDE THE RECAPPING ROOM TO KEEP UP WITH HOW LONG THE TIRES HAVE BEEN IN THE MOLD. VERY OLD HISTORY HERE. NOTICE THE 2 SQUARE BOXES WITH THE NUMBERS IN THEM. THOSE ARE NUMBERS ON 2 WHEELS THAT YOU CAN TURN TO CHANGE THE TIME THAT THE TIRES NEED TO BE IN THE MOLD OR THE TIME YOU STOP THE HEAT ON THE RECAP. YOU HAVE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE SIGN AND DIRT. I HAVE NOT TRIED ANY CLEANING ON THE SIGN. NEW OWNER CAN CLEAN OR LEAVE AS FOUND. THINK ABOUT HOW MANY DIRTY HANDS CHANGED THIS BACK IN THE DAY OF RECAPPING TIRES. WHEN YOU VIEW THE PHOTOS YOU WILL SEE THE WHEELS FROM THE BACK SIDE. ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT TO OUR SITE. JUST FOR ANYONE THAT VIEWED THE OTHER SIGN LIKE THIS THAT I HAD; THIS IS NOT THE SAME SIGN AND THIS IS SIGN NUMBER 2 THAT I GOT FROM THE SAME PLACE. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL OUR VETERANS.
