This large and heavy office sign is made of solid cast bronze and shows no foundry or maker's mark, but is presumed to have been made in the 1920s in the Art Deco style somewhere in North America. This flange sign clearly reads "Want Ad" and underneath "Accounts Cashier" and is believed to be from the lobby of a newspaper office. The sign is one sided and has an ornately cast flange flush mount wall bracket with scroll details.
