TIME MACHINE: Boy In Knickers Running
IT'S THE KNICKERS THAT MAKE THIS SIGN A TIME MACHINE: The first signs put up to warn drivers of cars to slow down for children were put up in the early 1920s, as the number of cars increased. They featured a boy wearing knickers running. Knickers were worn by boys in the 1920s and '30s. The sign in my photo is at likely 60+ years old! It has been in my neighborhood all this time. As time went on and more signs were needed, this image of the boy in knickers running has remained unchanged. So we see a glimpse of a time gone by in both this vintage sign and in contemporary "SLOW CHILDREN" (or "SLOW Children At Play") signs. They all feature the boy in knickers running. Knickers went out of style long ago, but this image remains, even on many newly made "SLOW Children At Play" signs. A "Time Machine"!
