An old white enameled tin plate bearing the inscription "Secours" (Help/First Aid) in large red serif letters, underlined by a thin border of the same color. Its elongated shape and two rounded mounting tabs give it an elegant silhouette, while the wear on the lettering and traces of oxidation provide a distinct patina. A piece of signage with expressive graphics, to be integrated into a collection or humorously repurposed on a medicine cabinet or near a stash of treats for everyday "emergencies."
✦ Estimated period: Early 20th century ✦ Origin: France ✦ Material: Enameled tin. ✦ Condition: Scratches, rubbing, and wear on the red lettering, particularly on the letters "S" and "E"; small enamel chips and oxidation on the edges and mounting tabs; inscription remains clearly legible.
An old red and white "Secours" enameled sign, for a collection of vintage signage or a wall decoration full of character.
