1960s "Castro Camera" Sign from Harvey Milk's Camera Store

1960s "Castro Camera" Sign from Harvey Milk's Camera Store

A story of both courage and tragedy, Harvey Milk gained notoriety as the first openly gay elected official in the state of California. Voted to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977, Milk was assassinated in 1978 and his legacy has been preserved through various methods, including an Academy Award-winning movie bearing his last name. This hand-painted cast metal sign originated from Milk's place of business, with "Castro Camera" in white lettering on a green background. Discovered in a corner of the room of a state official in San Francisco, the 23.25x11" keepsake shows nice wear and is a great artifact from a seminal figure in American culture and politics.
