In excellent vintage condition

with just the bottom of his stamp-collaged shorts and ink-drawn shoes peeking out below

the year of its making I believe

Native to central and southern Arizona

but overall very good antique condition

Yellow with Red Stripe Old Wooden Railroad Sign wood and velvet In excellent vintage conditionI found this and two others similar the other day in Maine, and understand that they were railroad signs I'd guess this one signaled "caution" with stop ahead? With great heavily nailed and scuffed up surface, and what I find to be a gorgeous combo of geometries, I like it as a readymade painting of sorts, good hung on the wall by itself, and perhaps even better with the other two! 18" x 18" x 1 5 8". Super solid structural shape and great surface.
