Condition report:

As pictured. Not examined out of the frame. The sign shows its use: There is edge wear, a 1 inch tear above the V in Van, a 1/2 inch tear above the Y of Dyke, a vertical fold through the E of Dyke and Since, a waterstain adjacent to the V in Van, smoke or oil stains to the D in Dyke, slight paper loss to the lower left corner, and an abrasion below the union bug. We did not examine the sign out of the frame; it appears to be mounted to cardboard or, perhaps, black paper over a backing mount.
