My son loves old tin signs like this. It’s not as thick as original ones. I leaned on it and it dented. I was able to get the dent out easily, but it surprised me a bit. However, hanging on the wall, being on display, most likely it’s not going to take a lot of abuse. The painting looks authentically old; peeled, chipped and faded. It has 4 pre-drilled holes in each corner so you can securely mount it. So even if it’s not quite the same as the real thing, he’s going to love it.
