Black and White CENTRAL Real Street Sign vintage tabletop sculpture Really a beauty

Really a beauty

with the only visible flaw being a tiny chip at the very tip of the peak of one of the dark cranes

I'd guess 1950s-60s

Black and White CENTRAL Real Street Sign vintage tabletop sculpture Really a beautyI like utilitarian signs that have the capacity to signal meaning based on context, like this vintage Central street sign, which one might use to signify the operational (or decision making) hub of home or office.

Made of steel I believe, heavy and not pliable, with two holes at top and bottom
