This is a solid brass directory previously used in an old Chicago multistory building. Manufactured in 1947, this sign is in remarkable shape for it’s age. It features 3 separate panels complete with heavy lead glass for displaying. It does show it’s age in some areas – the black binding on the face is detached on the bottom left corner. This can be repaired with minimal effort using the original material that is still intact and complete. This directory weighs about 65 pounds and measures approximately 2.5 feet by 1.5 feet. Pieces like this don’t come around very often and are very hard to find. Own a very original hand made 70 year old display! This thing is built like a tank and looks fantastic.
