Any idea what this sign could be worth? Supposedly 1890’s Japan

Approximately 2.5x 2 feet. Thick
cut wood. I’ll post more photo later but wanted to gets preliminary idea if anyone has one. Thanks

 

Looks like a crate lid. And on what is 1890s date based?

Debora

 

I don't see much age to the wood other than some water damage perhaps in the past? Crisp, like new, colorful design also. JMHO of course!

 

for that kinda money...you need an asian antique dealer to see it.......

 

Don't think so. Wouldn't pay more than $10 and I'd probably pass it by anyway.

 

Not Japanese, It is Chinese, simplified writing, MAO ERA. Says name of Company etc. $25.00 tops.
