The top and bottom have two small holes, either from where the sign hung or something was attached, a frame possibly.
The back has an added frame wire to hang with two eyelets. The bottom of the wood is stamped, Antiques Man.
Note: the antique man has been a mainstay in Baltimore for all things weird and truly unique. The store sold oddities and sideshow items back when no one cared. Anything coming from the Antique Man is always pretty great, their hours were only by appointment and if you knew them. There were two Antique Man, the original store was sold to a friend of Antique Man over 15 years ago.
