There is history in the shape of the signs. The middle seventeenth cen tury shows as a type a square board of medium size with scroll work top and bottom. Toward the end of the een- tury and in the first decade of the next the influence of fine cabinet makers Is apparent and the sign it. self swings in frame and is design ed with an eye to grace and beauty. In the next score years the boards in- crease in size and become nothing but large oblongs, only less monstrous than the billboards of the present.
 Not only does the Eagle stand wit ness to history on Connecticut signs. The famous incident of the Charter Oak was also appropriated by tav- ern. A Hartford sign bears the name "A. N. Mason" and shows on one side the Connecticut River with the oak overhanging it's banks and in the sha- dow a man in doublet, hose and cape, hiding large white paper in it's hol- low On the other side a gentleman on horseback, with long trousers strapped under the instep, is riding up to large hollow tree stump.
 Early Styles Set In England
 Still another pre- Revolutionary sign in Mir Brainard's collection comes from the Black Horse Tavern in Say brook. which is said to have welcomed man and beast as early as 1890 The sign is probably of later date and bears the figures 17-leaving the exact decade in doubt This building is also still standing.
 These three early sign boards show tree, a horse and a general. They might have depicted an almost infinite varitey of objects. Styles were set then in England, and Addison, writ ing in "The Spectator" for April, ITO. had protested against the use of monsters and creatures" on signs.
 The lion was a Hartford sight for many years, rivaling in paint the one in iron now adorning a side lawn for the Municipal Building He swung, almost as big as life, before s. Wads- worth's tavern, which long stood at the corner of Albany and Prospect avenues and has only recent P been moved to the property of it's present owner, II. Hilliard Smith In stage coach and tap-room days this was one of twenty-one inns on the stretch of twenty miles out the Albany turnpike. The Wordsworth tavern was not. we are told, a staging inn for every pass ing coach, but enjoyed an aristocratic patronage. The present building dates from 1928. the sign itself bears the figures is44 and the name of Rice, who was then the host.
 Military Heroes Dropped
 On the reverse of the Wadsworth sign are an Eagle and Shield which tell the story of passing years. Con- neeticut was no longer content with the military heroes of old England, nor of the lion, the king of beasts and beast of kings Politics played it's part in sign painting as in everything else when the republic was young.
 Mir. Brainard has signboards bear ing the Eagle and Shield, copied, we are informed, from coins. The sign of the Pettibone tavern in Simsbury,

 Quite in contrast is the quaint picked chicken eagle that graced the sign of R. Hammond's Inn and more an anchor on the reverse side and the date. 1918. Yet another contrast Is the framed medallion with a scalloped edge which swung before c. B. Lewis's place of entertainment.
 Morgan B. Brainard, of Hartford, collects tavern signs to keep them from being chopped into kindling wood and disappearing altogether from the light of the sun, says "The Hartford Courant." It takes a large cellar to do 1t. on the scale MT. Brainard has set, for he has already several dozen of them, not few of them measuring as long as eight feet. Some of the finest Connecticut specimens are now on view at the Morgan Memorial and a few others are still hanging in the breeze, protected by the new paint from the ravages of the weather, and yet Mir. Brainard's cellar remains well stocked in a way that would sur prise the genial hosts of the old inns whose names are there perpetuated.
 Oldest of all in his collection is the pine tree sign, dated l76S. and in scribed Entertainment for Man and Hors." It is older than the famous General Wolfe sign which hung before General Israel Putnam's tavern in Brooklyn and is now preserved in the Connecticut Historical Association rooms. It hung before the Road Tav- ern when Lisbon was part of Nor wich. and in this tavern troops were recruited for the French and Italian wars.
 One Bears Bullet Hole
 The next in point of time is marked with a bullet hole. It dates from ITS and was probably one of the last to bear the name popular with inn keep CTS, "The Duke of Cumberland. lt shows that English peer with drawn sword and mounted upon a rearing horse. The bullet hole rouses all sorts of surmises Perhaps a red-hot rebel shot at the Duke as he swung in the breeze and missed him by a score of inches, but the tavern keeper. being a cautious man with an eye for business, caused the sign Go be taken down one night and slowed away in garret, be- heving that he would replace 1t when the traitorous furry had blown over and peers were in favor again.
 But there is no need for fancy. the facts themselves are sufficiently roman tic. The sign once hung before the Robinson Tavern in Rocky Hills, a sturdy brick building which still stands. It must have been long ex- posed Co rain and storm for 1t is weathered and from the carving of time a rubbing has been taken and one side restored with fresh paint to it's original bright colors Above the Duke are three initials, o.
