For many years, this sign was posted at the West Portal entrance to the Twin Peaks streetcar tunnel in San Francisco. It didn't always work - there were many, many times the tunnel was closed due to people driving in and getting stuck on the tracks!
This sign has been dragged around all over the place since I rescued it from a trash pile back in 1973. I'm sure of the exact date, but the glass marble reflectors and the California Automobile Association bug on the bottom make me think probably late 1920s.
There are lots of initials and names carved on the back - are any of them yours?
