Vintage "Wifey's Mood Barometer" novelty wooden wall plaque manufactured in Japan, likely dating to the 1960s era. This humorous wall sign measures approximately 10 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall and features a movable blue mood indicator that rotates between Sweet, Dangerous, Lovin, Sour, Bossy, Stubborn, Gay, and Silly. The original Made In Japan marking remains present on the reverse, and the sign retains its colorful artwork and classic mid-century novelty appeal.

Novelty signs such as this were popular gift shop and souvenir items during the post-war import boom, when Japanese-made collectibles became common fixtures in American homes, bars, rec rooms, and workshops. The humorous artwork, tongue-in-cheek relationship theme, and vintage Made In Japan origin make this an appealing piece for collectors of mid-century décor, novelty advertising, vintage humor memorabilia, and imported Japanese collectibles. The wording and artwork are very much representative of their era and provide an interesting glimpse into the humor and design styles of the time.

CONDITION

Very Good vintage condition overall. Colors remain vibrant and display well. The movable mood indicator rotates smoothly and stays in position when set to a selected mood. The sign shows normal age-related wear consistent with a vintage item, including minor surface wear, light edge wear, and a small chip to one corner as shown in the photographs. No major cracks, splits, or repairs were noted to the wooden plaque itself. The original hanging cord was missing when acquired, and a replacement braided twine hanger has been installed for display purposes. Please review all photographs carefully as they are part of the description and condition assessment.
