1920s “TOURISTS” Cast Metal Sign Glass Cat Eye Reflectors Boarding House Sign
Located in Lancaster, PA
A vibrant early highway-era relic, this original 1920s "TOURISTS" sign is cast in heavy metal with bold silver lettering inset with original glass cat-eye reflectors, all mounted to the original red painted backer.
