      Originally the sign was just the triangle part of your sign. It was called a "call card". Merchants hang it in their window to let drivers know that were to come "call" to pick up a package. I believe the originals were made out of cardboard, not sure about that. In 1913 they added a heavy metal rim around the outside because merchants complained about them getting damaged.

      My guess is that yours is a much later copy of that sign
