Old enameled sheet metal administrative sign, used to indicate authorization for a Category IV liquor license. The design consists of a white enameled background, a bright red diagonal band bearing the word "LICENCE", and blue typography for the "IV" indication. The sign explicitly mentions the law of September 24, 1941, a characteristic period of regulations implemented under the Vichy regime. The whole has an authentic patina, with signs of use, small enamel chips and visible oxidation on the back, testifying to its real use.
