			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.elevatorpreservation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/elevatordirectory.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-221" title="elevatordirectory" src="http://www.elevatorpreservation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/elevatordirectory-225x300.jpg" alt="elevatordirectory" width="225" height="300" /></a>This has to be one of the coolest items I&#8217;ve seen on ebay for quite some time. The last I had checked the bid was up to $255 and the reserve price had yet to be met. The details of the item are noted below. And yes, the first line item of it being rare is correct.</p>
<ul>
<li>Here is a beautiful CA 1890&#8242;S ELEVATOR DIRECTORY 43 X 26 X 1.5 INCH SIGN and in  our opinion very rare.</li>
<li>We have owned it for over 20 years</li>
<li>This sign may have been in a lobby of a business or possibly head office of a  corporation</li>
<li>It is made out of solid wood and has nice gold lettering for the FIRST FLOOR,  DIRECTORY ETC.</li>
<li>Condition is overall great,see pictures for details, a couple of the floor  letters are faded</li>
<li>The LECKIE SIGN IS METAL AND WOULD SLIDE OUT TO BE REPLACED WITH OTHER  BUSINESS NAMES(that was the only one it came with)</li>
</ul>
<p>While not all the photographs are posted here the sign looked to be about 1&#8243; thick. Looking at it now I think that reproducing a replica would be something that wouldn&#8217;t be too hard to do. I might end up giving this a try in my spare time, kind of like the New Yankee Workshop.</p>
