Shape: Beautifully stamped, shaped wavy top and bottom profile (not a flat modern reproduction).

Condition & Authenticity Note:
This sign has a fantastic, honest patina from decades of use. The front face remains bright with excellent color density, making the graphics highly legible. There is natural enamel chipping and rust oxidization along the edges, shoulders, and around the mounting holes. The reverse side features the classic mottled blue/grey vitreous ground-coat characteristic of early manufacturing, showing heavy natural rust scaling across the center.
