Pictured with a typical ballpoint pen for size reference, the two older ones in the foreground are about 10" long.
"NEXT COUNTER PLEASE" has blue screen printed lettering on an aluminum face, affixed to a stained (?) wooden block with curved back profile. Guessing this might have originally been used in a US Post Office, as its font/logo just somehow reminds me of something vaguely postal related when I was a kid...?
"INFORMATION" is cast brass or bronze, with two small 'legs' to hold it up. Each of the 'legs' used to have tiny rubber 'feet' on it, now the only thing remaining is the rivet heads that once held them on. Gotta guess this is likely the oldest of these, I've had it myself for at least several decades and don't really remember where/when I first got it.
"I DON'T CARE" is a little smaller at about 8" long, and is of recent make with a (c)2017 date on one of the mfr's labels on its back. It has an engraved woodgrained plastic laminate front, fixed in a gold anodized aluminum bracket. Found this one at the junk store last weekend and couldn't resist it for a buck, even though it has a small 'damaged spot' on its face...I haven't yet taken it to work with me to display at my workbench, but that's its ultimate destination... <LOL>
I need the "I DON"T CARE" on my desktop:)
OOPS -- my belated THANKS to jscott0363, fortapache, Newfld, Brunswick, officialfuel, Caperkid, and ofwhatiam ?!! I'm SO HAPPY y'all stopped by and tapped the <love it> button for this little group of signs!
jscott, I did a little looking around trying to learn more about the I DON'T CARE and didn't find another exactly like it anywhere currently for sale, though several 'similar' examples with the same (and/or other amusingly irreverent) legend did show up... good luck finding a fun 'new sign' for your own desk?! ;-) :-)
