LARGE Vintage Antique Fast Food Restaurant Sign -- Highway Americana

By Christopher Yetter, 12 March, 2010
Description

This is a great piece of classic San Francisco Americana. This sign was recently removed from the Chinatown location. It would make a great addition to your store, loft, or wherever you need to hand a giant hand holding a hamburger.

The burger is 24" in diameter and 17" high. The sign is 41" long, 36" high at the hand and 24" high at the rear. The sign is about 14" thick.
