Double-sided painted wood advertising sign reading "Bicycles New & Used" in bold black lettering against a cream ground. The upper word "Bicycles" is rendered in flowing script, contrasted with block capitals below, creating a strong visual hierarchy typical of mid-century small shop signage. A simple black pinstripe border frames the composition. The board retains metal hanging tabs affixed along the top and bottom edges, indicating suspension from brackets or chains in a storefront or interior display setting.
The typography suggests a utilitarian, hand-lettered or early screen-painted approach-direct, legible, and built for sidewalk visibility. The double-sided format would have allowed it to project outward from a façade, catching traffic from both directions. Honest paint wear, surface texture, and minor edge roughness reinforce its working-life character rather than decorative reproduction.
