This antique United States Trust sign reads United States Trust Company of New York, and most likely dates to the early 1900s. It is a very heavy stamped steel sign with deep embossed lettering and border. The bottom line reads – Agent, Assignee, Vendor.
This is a really cool historical artifact from New York. It would make a nice display or collectible piece for someone on Wall Street or in the banking business.
