1. Made of a heavy plastic material.

2. Does have 4" crack on left side( see pics)... which someone appears to have glued/fixed.

3. Has few scuffs along top/ends

4. Kind of a light pink/blush color.

5. When sign is in a low-lighted/darker environment... very pretty( deeper red/blush color...see pics)

For being probably 50+ years old...nice shape/condition except the crack.
