Old Funeral sign found in old dump. This is solid brass. It weighs about 7 pounds. the width is 14 inch's by 8 1/2 high. It is a 1/4 inch thick. I was told that this would be used on the street during a home viewing . I love anything old used in the Funeral and Medical field.

Thanks much,,chevy59.
neat piece von
Beautiful sign they would put up during a funeral, fantastic find, I love going into old funeral homes and seeing some of the iconic deco lamps they used also. They tore one magnificent old one down in town and was looking through the caverns of the basement for old relics, picked up some prize chandaliers and some chalices, etc. Phil.
