Description

Black, boat shaped plywood. In OK condition, worn used and faded. Text is faded so much it has become illegible. Plywood shaped boat was typical of parking signs used by the former Peterson Builders Inc. to designate parking spaces adjacent to their shipyard and warehouse. Peterson Builders Inc VIPs had designated parking spaces as did 'Visitors'.
