Offered here is a vintage Wisconsin Licensed Shooting Preserve sign, likely dating from the mid-20th century. This robust metal sign features a bright yellow background with bold, raised black lettering that reads "WISCONSIN LICENSED SHOOTING PRESERVE SEC. 29.573 NO TRESPASSING." The sign's design is typical of official signage from the era, with clear, impactful typography designed for visibility and authority. Measuring approximately 24 inches wide by 12 inches high, it's constructed from a durable gauge of metal, indicating its original purpose for outdoor display in a hunting or shooting preserve setting. The inclusion of "SEC. 29.573" refers to a specific Wisconsin statute pertaining to shooting preserves, adding to its historical and legal authenticity. This piece would make an excellent addition to a collector's assortment of vintage Americana, hunting memorabilia, or as unique decor for a man cave, cabin, or rustic-themed space, especially for those with ties to Wisconsin or a passion for hunting history. The raised lettering is a hallmark of quality manufacturing for such signs, ensuring longevity and tactile appeal. The sign is in good vintage condition, showing honest wear consistent with its age and outdoor exposure. There are scattered surface scratches, minor paint loss, particularly along the edges and corners, and some areas of expected discoloration and light rust speckling, all contributing to its authentic vintage patina. The four pre-drilled mounting holes are intact, though some show minor wear. There are no significant dents or structural damage, and the sign remains sturdy and visually striking.
