This is a sign that spent years in the cellar of my father-in-law's childhood home. We recently pulled it out and wiped it off and this is what we have. I don't have any idea how old it really is. If anyone has an idea please let me know.
It is a metal sign and I believe it is porcelain coated.
I didn't measure it but it is about 4 feet tall and 12 to 14 inches wide.
As you can see there is some rust and some spots where the porcelain is is worn away or chipped off in a couple of spots.
Would love to know anything that anyone could tell us about it.
