I got it out of an old independent foreign-car shop some years ago. The owner of the shop told me the sign was of 1955 vintage. |

did you lay down that checkerboard floor in your bathroom so it feels like your camper has a toilet? _________________ Extravagant Lifestyle

Here is one of my favorites.
It was made in the 30's by a German company named 'Boos u. Hahn' located in Ortenberg / Baden. It measures 64 x 90 cm.
The image is of a famous German motorcycle and race car driver Bernd Rosemeyer. He was a test driver for the German car company 'Auto Union'. Bernd Rosemeyer won most of the important races in 1936 and 1937. He was killed January 1938 during a test drive with a top speed 440 km/h.
Here is a nice video about Rosemeyer with some cool images. Keep in mind this is all pre-war stuff.

That bathroom in Norway would be the coolest bathroom on earth to take a "dump" in! Take a number and get in line!
