This two-sided sign hung outside a storefront in Australia during the 1950s. It reads, Trevor J. Marsden, on one side, and T.J. Marsden on the other; he was a known bookmaker specializing in making bets on horse racing. The sign has three-dimensional painted writing and reads "Brisbane Sydney Melbourne." The sign is made of wood, measures 51x12x1" thick and is in VG condition. Has wear but the wear adds to the charm of the piece.
