Novelty Warning Parking Sign
This is a rectangular novelty parking sign constructed from a rigid metal substrate, likely aluminum, featuring a white background with a red border and red block lettering. The text reads 'THE LAST CAR THAT PARKED HERE IS STILL MISSING.' The sign measures approximately 12 by 18 inches, a standard size for private parking signage. It features rounded corners and two pre-drilled mounting holes centered at the top and bottom. A notable distinguishing feature is a simulated bullet hole or impact puncture located on the left side near the word 'HERE,' which appears to involve actual deformation of the metal, adding a tactical or humorous 'menacing' aesthetic. The condition shows moderate surface wear, including light scratching, minor dirt accumulation, and slight paint loss around the edges, consistent with outdoor exposure or garage storage. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps identifying the manufacturer, suggesting a mass-produced novelty item likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is utilitarian, utilizing standard silk-screening or vinyl application techniques common for commercial comedic signage.
