Vintage Wood and Wood Laminate Think Desk Plaque Sign from IBM

  

Up for sale is this rare IBM "THINK" sign. Recovered from a metropolitan Washington estate sale. The sign is primarily made of wood and is double sided with the IBM motto "Think". This vintage sign was made over half a century ago by Plastic Laminating Corp.

"THINK" was the slogan developed by Thomas Watson Sr. When he was a sales manager for the National Cash Register Company, urging his employees to use their heads, not their feet-their job was to think. As IBM CEO during the 1920s, Watson continued to encourage innovation and "THINK" became a ubiquitous slogan within IBM workforce. The front side of this sign is good enough to put on display.

Say as much for the back side. It's not perfect, but if it were, the price would be much higher. Take a look at all the. Like it for your collection, I'd be glad to sell it to you.
