CUSTOMER PARKING ONLY sign

There's nothing special at all about this 24" x 36" sheet metal sign, except to me, for its former location until very recently when I brought it home. On a plain (faded) brown background, the legend is (now slightly shrunken) plastic pressure sensitive lettering.

It so happens (and finally occurred to me) that it is (was) the only bit of signage, and nearly only bit of anything else besides the structure itself, still remaining of the *former* business that occupied the building where in turn the organ company I now don't work for anymore made our home for nearly 30 yrs, until last spring.

It was fastened to the inside of the fence in the parking lot -- one of the first things we did when taking over the building back then was to build an electric gate opener machine (out of a typical garage door opener) and modify the gate, making the parking lot *no longer* a public 'customer parking area'...but nobody ever bothered to take the sign down because nobody ever cared.

And so the other day when I was otherwise there (I still use the facility periodically, as do other former co-workers) I liberated it, to join my own sign collection instead. Now, nobody will ever notice... <sigh>
