Original 'He Played A Penfold' Penfold Man Advertising Sign
Vibrant yellow and black graphics, with the familiar golf advertising legend, here is a vintage time-period wooden cutout sign featuring The Penfold Man with his tagline 'He Played A Penfold.' Presumably, this was hung by a head golf professional named A.J. Stephenson's office. A staple in the ever popular point of sale advertising figure statue category alongside its companion pieces the Dunlop Man, Silver King and Queen, and North British Scottish Terrier. The Penfold Man was strategically placed in pro shops in the 1920-40s as advertising, with obvious visual intrigue to the golfing consumer. This is believed to have been made at the same time period with welcomed aging subtly shown throughout and a break under the chin that has been restored with the affixing to board. Please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report of this desirable nearly century-old advertising effort featuring the famous Penfold Man. 14" x 20"
