Double Sided Warning Sign - Sign - Metal, Enamel

Original vintage double-sided Soviet-era metal sign from the Latvian SSR. One side reads “ATPŪTAS VIETA / МЕСТО ОТДЫХА” (“Rest Area”), while the reverse warns “UZMANĪBU – ĒRCES! / ОСТОРОЖНО – КЛЕЩИ!” (“Attention – Ticks!”). The bilingual Latvian and Russian lettering, stencil-painted design and substantial weathering reflect its original outdoor use, most likely at a forest or roadside recreation area in Latvia.

A distinctive and unusual piece of Latvian SSR ephemera, suitable for collectors of Soviet memorabilia, Latvian history, industrial/outdoor signage or vintage decor. The sign has attractive age-related patina and corrosion from outdoor use while retaining its original lettering and overall character.
