This is an authentic vintage aluminum German notification sign. The sign is double-sided and indicates that "entry is prohibited" while the reverse indicates the "cash register is closed".
Text Translation:
"Kein Durchgang" (No Entry)
"Kasse Geschlossen" (Cash Register Closed)
Vintage ca. 1980s-1990s & sourced directly from the region of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
It’s an aluminum, light-weight sign with a solid red vinyl "decal" on either side in relatively good condition. Signs of wear do exist but mostly in tact and really good condition; standard age wear consistent with age should be expected. Please review photos carefully.
Measurements (approximate):
Length: 18 3/4"
Height: 8 1/4"
Weight: 2 lbs
Historical Context:
One example of where this sign may have been used is a supermarket where it would indicate to shopping patrons that a particular cash register was closed but patrons opposite the cash register would see that entry to this lane is prohibited.
