It is written on a 110 year old wood board from a midwest corn crib. The paint used is made by a small 5th generation paint company that produces historically accurate paint used in historical buildings all over America, and this paint on this board is accurate for the place and the time period, it is as if a farmer in the early 1900’s went out and picked up a board and painted the words…be thankful. Comes with 2 sawtooth clips and picture hooks if you want to hang it, this one leans some but could be stood up as well and not hung. We’re giving you some options.
