This was found with two old staff car tags...hanging in the rafters of a mil surplus store for 30 plus years

 

this is dated 1942 VA Beach

 

Origin of the sign is unknown, not sure why a motel/hotel sign would be dated...but thought it cool...it is still hanging up in the rafters....

 

If too offensive, please delete

Interesting item, but wouldn't solicitation have also been illegal in 1942?.....I would guess it's more of a tongue in cheek item, than an actual sign denoting business policy, Bodes

I have no idea...lol but thought it was a cool old sign...legit? No clue..but certainly a mancave item...and who knows about Norfolk in WWII...

IMHO, I could see some dive hotel posting that sign. Personally, I think it's legit and a really neat sign.

Part of a series of tongue in cheek signs made to look old. They also make the railroad Jim Crow signs as well.
