Description
Interesting and ornate metal sign, looks like enamel and brass.
Sealed in glass for the last 25 years, the plate states
"This room is equipped with Edison Electric Light.
Do not attempt to light with match. Simply turn key on wall by the door."
"The use of electricity is in no way harmful to health, nor does it affect the soundness of sleep."
I have not removed the metal plate from the frame, not wanting to get fingerprints on it. I believe it is oval shaped and under 11" in length.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
