Vintage original, not a reproduction!!! Metal pressed nuclear warning sign rare!!! This incredible sign would have originally been fixed to a fence to warn people away (possibly from Sizewell b?) It looks amazing displayed, and it's very rare to have an original. Lots of age-related wear shows its age and authenticity.
