Comments/description: Rare. Die-cut pressed laminate paper sign is 3-D with a printed foil facade on front. Some of this imprint is compromised as show while the overall integrity of the sign is still excellent. No separation other than that at the edges of the facade. Wear at the corners. The white visible on the top surfaces of the red is dust that will blow or clean away; it is not mildew or paint. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
