Description
This item is a cast metal sign, likely cast iron, featuring a textured sand-cast finish. The sign is rectangular with rounded corners and includes four pre-drilled mounting holes, one at each corner. The design features a black painted background with raised lettering and a raised border, both highlighted in gold-toned paint. The text on the sign reads SPEED LIMIT FOR HORSES AT A WALK MOTOR VEHICLES 10 MILES PER HR. This plaque is designed in the style of early 20th-century traffic regulations from the transitional period between horse-drawn transport and early motor vehicles. Based on market context, this item is a modern reproduction manufactured to resemble a vintage period piece.
