For sale: A stunning 24-inch octagonal stop sign, likely vintage porcelain enamel on steel, perfect for collectors, man caves, or rustic decor. Heavy (~17 lbs, rough estimate) with authentic crazing, sparkly white “STOP” lettering (starry shimmer from glass beads), and subtly reflective red. Likely 1930s–1950s based on weight, crazing, and glassy enamel, but I’m not 100% sure—ask questions!Key Details:
Condition: Vintage, used with authentic patina. Heavy crazing (fine cracks from age) and minimal rust on edges (great shape for its age). White lettering sparkles under light (vintage glass-bead reflectivity); red is subtly reflective, slightly obscured by crazing. Hard, glassy surface with white underlayer when scratched, suggesting porcelain enamel on steel (magnet sticks, sold as-is). No major dents or cracks; minor edge wear possible.
Specs: 24" octagonal, red with white “STOP” lettering, ~17 lbs (heavy, typical of vintage steel). No maker marks or date stamp; likely pre-1950s but authenticity not guaranteed (reflective red/white suggests 1930s–1950s). Not modern aluminum/vinyl.
Caveat: I’m not an expert—looks like vintage porcelain enamel (heavy, crazed, sparkly), but no maker marks, so verify yourself. Happy to answer questions or send more photos/tests
