      The Spaghetti Warehouse is a chain of restaurants. Probably from their decor.

      With that being the case, do you think they would have a database of items, it looks like it came off of a building

      Odd but the Spaghetti Warehouse is an Italian restaurant geared towards families with 16 locations in 7 U.S. states. The chain started in 1972 in Dallas, Texas. so not sure why is would say 1894 ? I am wondering since it is bar coded like it was meant to be sold and bar codes are not from 1894 . The sign looks like a decor piece but I have no clue what it has to do with the restaurant ?

      I think yes it is a decorator piece, I managed to find the auctioneer from the Spaghetti Warehouse, so I'll see if they know anything about it!

      Hi Hacovo00:
      Some resturants spend millions of dollars on decorating the interiors. Therefore these assets need to be inventoried and accounted for, hence the name and barcode.
      I'm sure somewhere the company has a list of items, but most companies are not willing to pay an employee to do free research for the public, but don't let that stop you from trying.

      Thank you for sharing,

      TA
