A gable with an image of a Coffee Bag. An old photo at the Munipal Archives shows that the stone was originally wider and the date 1727, mentioned in the archives, has lost.
Ancient home papers did not reveal any link whatsoever with the Coffee Bag on the plaque and the builder or owner of the property, Jacobus Brugman, master tinsmith by profession.
The original house has been demolished in 1920 and the plaque has been replaced, after renovation, at another old building. Linking to "Signs, signs2"
Um belo pormenor.

it is an inventive way to advertise a business.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting gable.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNicely detailed!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAn real mystery.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is most interesting and I like this gable. Full of mystery and a good story and some history. I have been away for a bit and stopped in to say hello and have a lovely day.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEen verwijzing naar een rijk handelsverleden.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like it a lot!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSomewhere back in the deep mists of time. . . :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think there is a long tradition of importing coffee. Too bad the current building has nothing to do with coffee because the sign looks great.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSomething of the old building was kept and that's good.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenQuite the mystery. Frustrating, but fun to look into at the same time!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is nice, however, when the sign is moved to a new building. Although not complete.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like you have so many such a lovely signs in your country.
That is a funny sign. Glad that it was kept though.
