It is, as near as I can tell, damned near one of a kind. In the last 30 days at least, there has been nothing on eBay. You just don't find them like this every day, almost never. It was made to be attached to a door, either on the push handle or alongside, but it looks as though it was never used for this purpose. Incidentally, what looks like a brown mark on the left of the word Sally, is actually ancient tape of some sort. I just left it exactly as I found it.
