Description

Semicircular sign for Dr. Lyman Allen. The sign is made of metal and wood, and has a dark gray background painted in gold with the inscription, "DR. LYMAN ALLEN / HOURS 130 to 3 P.M." The front of the sign has a gritty texture due to the inclusion of grains of sand. The back is hollow, using what appear to be scrap pieces of molding to hold the sign away from the wall.
