Description

Be Careful With Fire sign.
Up for sale today is this National Park Service sign, which dates back to the early days of the service advising campers, hikers and other visitors to have a healthy respect for fire
, and related fire-like phenomena
.  Signs like this were made starting in the mid-1910s and continued until the 1930s when porcelain signs gave way to other materials like routed wood.
Printed on heavy steel with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look, this sign is made to the highest standards of quality. 18 by 18 inches, and weighs eight pounds and four ounces.
This is a high quality steel sign.  Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close!
