John Deere Moline, Ill. Porcelain Sign – Deer Head, 1879, 12″

This John Deere porcelain sign shows a big yellow deer head with a full rack of antlers on a bright green field. “Moline, Ill.” arches across the top in black, “1879” sits on each side, and “John Deere” runs along the bottom in big yellow letters on a black band, with a small leaping deer between the words.

John Deere built his first steel plow in 1837, and the company has called Moline, Illinois, home for well over a century. It is real porcelain, made with glass enamel fired onto heavy gauge steel, so the finish is hard, glossy and built to last. The green and yellow colors look right at home in a barn, a shop, a garage or a man cave, and it makes a perfect gift for a farmer, a tractor collector or anyone who bleeds green and yellow.
