Antique enameled metal sign, used to indicate a Category IV liquor license. The design consists of a white enameled background, a bright red diagonal band bearing the word "LICENCE" (LICENSE), and blue lettering for the "IV". The sign explicitly mentions the law of September 24, 1941, a period characteristic of the regulations implemented under the Vichy regime. The sign displays an authentic patina, with wear consistent with age, small chips in the enamel, and visible oxidation on the reverse, attesting to its actual use.
