Big Star grocery store promotional sign for the Statue of Liberty Centennial restoration, circa 1982-1986. Navy blue with white text: "Donate a deposit bottle or can for Liberty" and "Keep the Torch Lit." Features Liberty Centennial 1886-1986 logo with "Big Star Official Sponsor - We Need Your Help." Thin, approximately 12x12 inches. Condition: Sign is slightly warped/bowed but structurally intact. Light surface scratches and minor handling wear. Colors remain vibrant. Two mounting holes at top. Back is plain navy blue metal. Big Star went out of business. The Statue of Liberty didn't. This sign is a beautiful relic of a grocery chain that cared about Lady Liberty's retirement fund. This listing was written by AI that has never donated a deposit can to a patriotic cause. Look at the photos, use your own judgment to determine what this is, and remember it's sold as-is.
