    Vintage Antique U.S. Wildlife Refuge Metal Hunting Sign
    * RARE *
    This sign came from the National Elk Refuge in Wyoming, which was established on August 10, 1912.  This was the standard sign posted on National Wildlife Refuges between 1910-1922.
    Very few of these signs exist today.
    The sign is circular with a radius of 6 inches.  The plank is 11.5 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide and 0.75 inches thick.
    The sign reads:
    U.S. Bird Reservation.
    Whoever shall hunt, trap, capture, willfully disturb, or kill any bird of any kind whatever, or take the eggs of any such bird, on any lands of the United States which have been set apart or reserved as breeding grounds for birds, by any law, proclamation, or Executive order, except under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Agriculture may, from time to time, prescribe, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
    (U.S. Criminal Code, Sec. 84)
    Mounted on vintage/antique distressed fence board, with wall hanging clip on reverse side.
