{"product_id":"vintage-hand-painted-barber-shop-restroom-sign","title":"Vintage Hand-Painted Barber Shop \"Restroom\" Sign","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-painted wooden directional sign produced for use in a barber shop or men's grooming establishment, featuring bold block lettering spelling RESTROOM against a warm tan field. The design is framed top and bottom with classic barber-pole striping in red, white, and blue, visually linking the sign to the long-standing barbering tradition. Rounded corners and straightforward plank construction reinforce its utilitarian, in-shop purpose rather than street signage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSigns of this type were typically mounted inside barber shops to guide customers toward washrooms, blending wayfinding with brand-adjacent visual language. The barber pole motif-rooted in 19th-century trade symbolism-remained a common visual shorthand well into the mid-20th century, even as interiors modernized. The hand-painted execution and restrained palette give the piece a graphic, honest presence that reads immediately as functional shop equipment rather than decorative reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWear is present throughout, including surface scuffs, paint loss, and edge wear consistent with prolonged interior use. The paint remains legible and visually strong, with no structural breaks to the board.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n30\" W x 8\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18938 - 020926\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075008299051,"sku":"18938","price":745.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/484b4c8d-e03e-51a7-86cb-b9a065d50807.jpg?v=1770853753","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/vintage-hand-painted-barber-shop-restroom-sign","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
