What was the coonskin leaning against the wall used for?
Rich, I was wondering the same thing. I was wondering if it were some sort of painting template for a rolling stock, bridges or what-not, but it almost looks like it’s rusting cast-iron. Interesting mystery!
Chris, maybe it’s a mold for casting the logo in concrete structures. However I don’t recall seeing any examples.
A mold would have its lettering reversed.
Not if you’re looking at the front of it.
I could be a template to make a mask cut out, or a routing guide for a stone mason or one half of matching half for a sand mold or it could be none of the above.
