Vintage Original NO MINING Wood Sign Big Bear Mng Co Oregon Gold Claim ORMC:
$249.00
Up for sale is a 100% original and authentic vintage hand-stenciled wooden mining sign from the Big Bear Mining Co.
This is not a modern reproduction or fantasy piece—it was an actual field-posted boundary sign used to protect an active claim from claim jumpers and rival prospectors. In the lower-left corner, it retains its original Bureau of Land Management serial notation: "ORMC 46331", tying it directly to Oregon mineral records (documented under the historic Big Bear Prospect / Gold Hill mining area in Jackson County, Oregon).
Details & Condition:
* Features bold red stenciled lettering reading "NO MINING / BIG BEAR MNG. CO." over a weathered white background.
* Crafted from a solid, heavy rough-sawn single wood plank.
* Displays genuine working character: natural weathering, knotting, mounting nail holes from claim-post installation, and honest wear consistent with exposure in the elements.
* Untouched, original dry patina that looks incredible displayed in a collection, shop, office, or cabin.
Terms of Sale:
* Sold AS-IS, exactly as shown in the photographs.
* No returns. Please inspect all photos closely to judge condition, dimensions, and character before offerding.
* Sign will be packed with care in heavy corrugated cardboard and bubble wrap for secure delivery.
