Wisdom on Wood



Cedar novelty plaques are an undiscovered source of wisdom and wit. They became popular travel souvenirs after World War Two when gas rationing was eliminated and road trip vacations were common. Today often dismissed as tacky kitsch, people could learn a lot if they gave this "low brow logic" half a chance. Too these mementoes are often real pieces of Folk Art that are just asking to be collected and cherished.
