From what we believe was a classic Coney Island attraction, this sheet-metal with wood frame hand-painted sign is one of just two of its kind that have been discovered. Measuring 22.5x46", it boasts the prowess of the great "Olga," who would perform readings for just 50 cents. Hopefully her readings were better than her spelling, as it says "Mysterys (sic) of the Occult"; a quaint opening for someone who "Knows All." The sheet metal is quite weatherbeaten but remains nicely colorful. A tourist and family destination for over a century, Coney Island was a favorite pre- and postgame destination for fans of the fabled Brooklyn Dodgers.
