Vintage German Cast Iron Bakery Sign

Description

Well, you don't see one of these every day. I've had this for 20 years or so, and always dreamed of opening a bakery and hanging it over the door. Since those days are gone, I'm selling it and will describe it the best I can. I have no idea how old it is, but it is in excellent condition.
Here we have a vintage cast iron German bakery sign. You can see the lions with crossed swords and the crown on top. There is a pretzel in the middle. Although the sign is hanging up with a string, it has a fitting in a center hole that can be used to attach it to the side of a building, for example. See photo. The photos are front and back, although they look similar.
The lion is perhaps the most famous symbol of Bavaria, and certainly of Munich. Lions symbolize bravery, royalty and such, and they have featured prominently in signs and flags. The lions are often gold in color. The pretzel is typical of German bakery signs.
Size is approximately 16" H X 19" W X 3/4" D.
