This is a roll sign that was once used on buses running in Queens, New York. Buses now have electronic displays like those in Japan, but in the past, the destinations were printed on a roll that would spin around. The destinations listed were as follows:
HORACE HARD'G & SPRINGF'D BDS
CITY LINE
Flushing Terminal
6th & 8th Ave. Subway
FRANCIS LEWIS BLVD.
LITTLE NECK RR STA.
14th Avenue
JAMAICA AVENUE
119th & 9th
65th & Fresh Meadow
The letters are centered, with short place names displayed on one line and long ones on two lines. The letter sizes vary, but the typesetting is the most attractive feature of the roll sign. It's not too monotonous, there's just enough space between them, and it's a very impressive typesetting, but what's interesting is that it wasn't designed as a poster or anything like that, but rather as a bus destination display.
In recent years, cheap replica roll signs have been sold that even reproduce the damage, but this is a one-of-a-kind vintage sign that was actually used. The lettering and the white part on the back are slightly discolored, and there are wrinkles and slight stains, but it does not look dirty, and you can enjoy the unique texture of a vintage sign that has actually been used.
It goes surprisingly well with rooms with an American feel, as well as simple, unadorned rooms. Please note that it is in its original condition and does not come with a hanging string.
