This vintage commercial sign is constructed from a single long rectangular wooden plank. The face features the word RESTAURANT hand-painted in black sans-serif block capitals against a cream-colored ground. Two pre-drilled holes are present at the upper corners for mounting purposes. Faint, illegible markings are visible in the upper-left corner of the sign face, but no maker's mark or signature can be identified. This piece is a typical example of vernacular roadside advertising from the mid-20th century.
