Pyrograph Sign, "May All Your Troubles End in Smoke" with Match Striker Oskar Hansen A beautiful old never usedI'm pretty taken with this antique wooden sign decorated with pyrography, signed (burned) on the back with the initials of its maker (W. F. G) and the year 1906. It not only features a great rendering of a burning pipe and the text, May all your troubles end in smoke, but also a square of sandpaper adhered to the bottom left corner for striking matches, which is still rough and ready to do the job. I especially love the os inside of os, like smoke
