in crimson red, cobalt blue, black and white baked porcelain enamel. It has incredibly beautiful and amazingly well-preserved enamel surfaces.
Circa 1920-1935,
this porcelain sign has simply terrific, nearly undiminished colors and remains nearly as it was originally constituted, some close to
85 to 100 years ago.
'Le Petite Journal'
was a

one of four major

speaking nation. The sign boasts 100% original surfaces and hasn't been adulterated or altered in any fashion.  The very minimal baked enamel loss is limited to the lower right margin, where the enamel loss is minimal and minor. There's also some normal, expected episodes of oxidation along the sign's edges.
An incredible vintage
