Privy Porcelain Sign

[pjritter]

Pretty fun to dig a sign! This one came out of a 1915 era fill layer in a double barrel pit in Delaware. The pit had an older layer in the bottom but the old layer was not laden with artifacts.

Thought it said Playstation. Did some research and it turns out that paystations were inadequit by 1909. Im gonna try to clean it up a bit when I get a chance. We are mad busy at work trying to cost average out commodities that we bought last year. I will repost the finished result of this sign on this thread. Take care and everyone have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday. I shall be posting more finds before the end of the year.
