Description from the seller
Original Soviet Metal Warning Sign — USSR, 1960s–1970s — “No Feeding the Seagulls!” — Vintage Industrial Sign — 43 × 35 cm
eye-catching original Soviet metal warning sign, featuring spectacular bright yellow and red colours, bold Cyrillic lettering and authentic vintage industrial character.
This unusual sign carries a rather unexpected message!
Original Russian inscription:
「ЗАПРЕЩАЕТСЯ ПОДТЯГИВАТЬ ЧАЙКИ ФЛАНЦЕВЫХ СОЕДИНЕНИЙ」
English translation:
“Do not tighten the nuts of flanged connections!”
Even Seagulls Had to Follow Soviet Rules!
There is a wonderful linguistic coincidence here: the Russian word “чайки” also means “seagulls” in English.
So, at first glance, one might imagine that the Soviet authorities had introduced yet another regulation:
“Attention! Tightening seagulls is strictly forbidden!”
Fortunately for the birds, this sign has nothing to do with wildlife!
It is an authentic industrial instruction referring to the tightening nuts of flanged connections.
A perfect example of how Soviet technical terminology can provide unexpected humour for modern collectors.
Authentic Industrial Character
The striking yellow background and large red letters remain particularly attractive.
The sign is made of solid metal and retains authentic signs of decades of industrial use.
Its natural patina, scratches, paint wear and areas of rust give it an unmistakable vintage appearance.
