Auction History Result 6p0181 FALLOUT SHELTER 10x14 metal sign 1960s designated areas to take cover from radiation, rare! Date Sold 6/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Metal Sign (measures 10" x 14" [25 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Fallout Shelter, the 1960s Cold War era metal sign identifying fallout shelters, which were an enclosed space specially designated to protect occupants from radioactive debris or fallout resulting from a nuclear explosion. The two most common fallout shelter signs authorized by the Department of Defense were the FS1 (which was 14x20) and the FS2 (which was 10x14). Both have flat black and yellow reflective paint. The Fallout Shelter Sign Posting Handbook lists the FS1 as an exterior sign and the FS2 as an interior sign, but both were often posted on the exteriors of buildings with shelters. All DOD issue signs have "Not To Be Reproduced Or Used Without Department Of Defense Permission." at the bottom of the sign. The fallout shelter triangle symbol is often confused with the very similar international radiation symbol. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this metal sign, and those sold for $150 and $110! Note that this sign is made of actual metal and it has tiny circular holes in each corner so that it could be nailed to a wall or post (this is how it was created). Condition: good to very good.
