I have a brass sign  plate 14 x 8 ins. reads as follows:

WARNING
THE SAFETY AND OF YOU AND OTHERS IN THIS AREA MAY DEPEND
UPON THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF THIS IMPORTANT COM-
MUNICATIONS INSTALLATION.
ANY PERSON WHO IN ANY WAY MY WILLFULLY MOLEST , DEFACES,
OR DAMAGES THIS PROPERTY WILL BE PROSECUTED.
PLEASE REPORT ANY DAMAGE BY CALLING OPERATOR AND ASK
FOR REPAIR SERVICE.
THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
OWNER

The lettering is engraved and the white paint therein is about 99%
gone. The sign came from the disused abandoned radio hut once
housing the transmitters for Marine Operator service. I suspect the
hut had an earlier use than this also. You would have to buff up the
brass and fill the lettering. What I am saying is, I will give this free
to someone who will use it for their station and preferably, inside
so it survives longterm. First chance given to anyone I know personally; 
second to West Coasters, as this comes from PT&T. Assuming some
one really wants it after all.  New owner would pay postage to them.
No answer from me indicates it's claimed.
