Provenance |
When 229 Hudson St., Redwood City was purchased by me in 1971, the Golden Bantam Corn sign was in the old garage on the property. Having grown up in Redwood City, I recognized the painter's name and remembered seeing his signs on store windows, etc. in downtown Redwood City... [note from donor] |
