AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Enamel Road Sign – Echten – ca. 1920-1940
Original enamel road sign from Echten, issued by the ANWB in collaboration with the Royal Dutch Automobile Club (KNAC). These signs were placed along Dutch roads in the early 20th century to promote wayfinding and traffic safety.
This type of sign is characteristic of the early automobilism in the Netherlands, a period in which the ANWB and KNAC played an important role in developing the national road network and the signage. The combination of both organizations on one sign makes this a particularly collectible item.
The sign is made of heavy steel with an original enamel coating. The deep colors and glossy finish give the sign a powerful presence. The typography and simple design are typical of the interwar period.
