Private Property No Trespassing Old Hand-painted Wooden Sign handmade dog head near the bottomA real beauty of a sign! I think whoever made this one had a pretty terrific design sensibility, and was pretty smart to paint the red border and ruled lines to bump up against with these wonderful black letters. Best of all that great black arrow, perfectly balanced with abstract flourish on the other side! Just perfect, though I must say if I encountered this sign in front of a house the last thing I would want to do would be to turn away! 16 1 4"
