This sign is solid cast iron. It is heavy! No identifying marks anywhere on the back. The background red is fading to pink. The back of the sign is just raw cast iron, like it was poured in a sand mold. The lower lettering is yellow with a black background. Also there is a yellow stripe along the top edge. I can't find it in any books, so far.
