Win a Timeless Gift for an Old House Lover

Posted by jm on October 10, 2006 2:13 PM

J.D. Iles and the rest of the staff at Lincoln Sign Company is extending a special offer to housebloggers and houseblogs.net readers just in time for the 2006 Holiday Season.

You can enter a drawing between now and October 27th (midnight, Eastern Standard Time) to win one of the really beautiful carved wood signs that they offer at this time of year. You can use it for your own home or as a gift for a loved one. (See the bottom of this post for contest details.)

They will be giving away two signs…one for a houseblogs.net houseblogger and one for a houseblogs.net reader.

This 1-sided sign measures 7.5" high by 12" wide and is made from 1.25" thick Red Cedar. This sign has a 23K gold-leafed border, and white text that will spell out any message you specify. Be it an address number, a family name, or even a holiday wish. All text will be carved and painted white, and they will send you a sketch of the sign before they start carving.

Mounting hardware is included and there are four background colors available: Dark Green, Burgundy, Dark Grey or Brown.

Contest details after the jump!

Lincoln Sign Company has been handcrafting wood signs since 1972. Each sign is custom designed, carved and painted by the six employees in their Lincoln, New Hampshire signmaking studio (which is next to J.D.'s amazing 1863 house). They make commercial, municipal, residential, sandblasted , etched mirror/glass and painted signs .

And if you've ever wondered what a day in the life of a signmaker looks like, wonder no more. It starts at 2:30 a.m.
