Posted on January 16, 2023 by admin

This is a rare and historically significant Antique Old American California Folk Art Painted Wood Sign, for Roy’s French Restaurant on Southern California’s famed Catalina Island. This painted sign appears to be painted on an old boat’s rudder and exhibits clear signs of decades of wear and use. This piece reads: Roy’s French Restaurat. For Ladies and Gentlemen. This sign approximately dates to the 1940’s – 1950”s. Unfortunately, I could not find any information on this establishment. This sign reveals it was a mainstay on Catalina Island since 1919.
