Description
Historical Background of O’Brien Paints Signs
The sign is a vintage advertising enamel sign for O’Brien Paints, a brand that operated in the early-to-mid 20th century. O’Brien was known for promoting durability and innovation in house paints, particularly touting the use of polymerized tung oil. This was marketed as a cutting-edge ingredient at the time, since tung oil gave paints water resistance and a longer life.
The eagle emblem and bold colors suggest a patriotic branding strategy, which was especially popular in the 1930s–1950s, aligning with themes of American strength and trustworthiness. Enamel and tin advertising signs like this were distributed to hardware stores and paint dealers to hang indoors or outside, meaning they often endured decades of exposure.

This O’Brien Paints enamel sign is a genuine mid-20th century advertising piece. Its condition is worn but still displays well, with strong colors and legible branding.

O’Brien Paints signs are less common than those from national giants like Sherwin-Williams or Dutch Boy, which makes them attractive to regional brand collectors and petroliana/advertising enthusiasts.
