An Original Vintage Sign (measures 4 1/4" x 11" [11 x 28 cm]) (Learn More) We Serve Colored: Carry Out Only, the 1931 sign created by A.A. Signs. Obviously, this restaurant (or similar establishment) wanted to show that they were "progressive" in serving black African American customers, but they also needed those customers to know that they could only get take out food. Such a sign is a sad reminder of just how far the United States has come since 1931 (and many would say it still has quite a ways to go when it comes to race relations). Important Added Info: Note that this is an original printed sign from 1931 that restaurants (or similar establishments) would display on their window. We have never auctioned this (or anything like it)! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
