Vintage Street Signs from Trenton & Elizabeth, NJ
c. 1920s Trolley Car Stop, and c. 1970s "Princeton Road".
c. 1920s Trolley Car Stop, and c. 1970s "Princeton Road".
1) AUTHENTIC c. 1920s Trolley Car Stop sign. Seriously heavy, this made from metal overlaid with hard-wearing enamel--a combination that is handsome and easily legible possibly over a century after it was made.
Trenton's trolley car service started in 1901 and ended in 1970, and so this sign likely dates from the 1920s, or possibly even earlier. It has all of the usual wear and patina you'd expect, and features its original thickly-twisted wire suspenders as the top. In Very Good condition, this measures 19" long by 10" wide, with a 1 1/2" bracket on the side for affixing to a post.
Asking just $125, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
2) c. 1970s "Princeton Road" street sign. Likely from Elizabeth, NJ (home of Schott) this is a classic metal street sign. Perfect for a Princeton grad--or aspiring Princeton grad--or just someone who likes classic street signs (or wants a connection to Schott!) this has all the usual patina you'd expect from an issued sign. Measures 30" long by 6" high.
Asking just $49, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
