1 / 10
Description

An authentic enamel station nameplate sign from Kumagai Station on the JR East Takasaki Line, removed from platform support poles. The vertical sign measures approximately 20 cm wide by 81.5 cm tall. It features an orange border, navy blue background, and white raised-relief carved characters spelling "くまがや" (Kumagai). The sign is made of iron with enamel coating. The seller notes this is a genuine vintage railway artifact that was in use at the station for many years. Character legibility is good and the finish retains some gloss. The sign shows age-appropriate rust, scuffs, and some enamel flaking at edges and corners, consistent with long outdoor use. The seller has not over-cleaned it to preserve its period character. This is a collector piece for those who appreciate authentic, vintage Japanese railway signage.

Age-appropriate rust, scuffs, and enamel flaking at edges and corners from long years of station use. Character legibility remains good with some gloss retained; described as relatively well-preserved for its age.
