PhotoChain Challange # 122 SUNGLASSES and RUST

This week the pair of keywords are SUNGLASSES and RUST chosen by Hive account@adinapoli and Hive account@eolianpariah2.

When we first purchased our property in Upstate New York we found this metal sign. I figured that back in the day it must have hung on a country store advertising the sale of HOME MADE ROOT BEER, CIGARETTES. and CIGARS. It was obvious that the sign had been repurposed because under the rusty letters I could make out the Words USA at the top of the sign and Flour at the bottom portion. The middle word I was never able to make out, but it must have been some type of particular flour.

I would have loved to have tried the homemade root beer. But, with the age of this relic I guess if I were alive back then I would have to be a Centurian by now, probably closing in on 150 years of age.

The Hive account@bigsweed decided to hang it from one of polls that he put in the ground. A series of these polls carry an electrical line back to one of the cabins that he built by our pond. It has been hanging there for more than 30 years now. As it ages, the letters continue to become clearer as the rust deepens.
