Object/Artifact
Sign / label: Macy's Parade Studio, 1505 Willow Avenue, Hoboken, NJ 07030. No date, circa 1990s-2000s. Painted 1/4" plywood, 24" high x 40" wide. Bolt holes; screw holes.
While characterized as a sign, it is probable that it was actually an address label. It has company names and addresses on both sides (see below) and with the bolt holes, apparently intended to be de-mounted or reversed as needed. The Macy's parade balloons were manufactured by Aerostar International in South Dakota and typically would be shipped in large crates, possibly re-useable ones for the transport or storage.
