So, one of my coworkers recently left. For context, I do environmental work.

Sitting in the back seat of his truck as I cleaned it out (and it was filthy) was this. A damaged speed limit sign.

...But why?

Wild guesses not just welcomed, but encouraged.

Photograph of a white, speed limit sign sitting against a greyish wall on the floor. The limit is 15 in black text, but the 5 is partially unreadable. The entire sign is very dirty.

Love these old-fashioned cast-iron road signs in the Carmunnock area of Glasgow.

An old-fashioned black and white cast iron road sign with distance and directions on it.

I found this fantastic little ghost sign today at the entrance to a tenement close on High Street in Glasgow. The tenement was built in 1901, but the phone number (Bell 976) indicates the sign dates from sometime between 1936, when the Bell Telephone Exchange opened on nearby Ingram Street, and the 1960s, when the Bell prefix was phased out in favour of the numerical ones 552 and 553.

A small metal sign telling the residents of a tenement in Glasgow who they need to call in the event that there is a problem with the lighting for the communal stairs.

@gparenti @fembot Your photo made me think of this one I took there in 2013. I was most interested in the sign above the door, but the locked gate forced me into a different, and probably better, framing of the shot.

More photos from that trip here: https://bl.ag/painted-signs-in-vietnam/

And a contemporary practitioner from /HCMC/Saigon here: https://bl.ag/saigon/

Painted sign mounted above a double door set within walls of turquoise. This all sits behind a metal gate in a scene of graceful decay.

Ghost sign for Alain Murzeau, Maitre Artisan (furniture maker and interior designer), at 19 Rue du Commerce, 49100 Angers, France.

The business was founded in 1924, and moved here in 1934, perhaps suggesting this is when the sign was painted.

Their shop is still trading at 11 Place Laiterie, 49100 Angers.

The full text of the sign reads:

PEINTURE • PATINE • PAPIER • PEINTS
MOQUETTES • TISSUS • TENDUS

A. MURZEAU
