Very scarce 1920s – 30s sign from Pontchartrain Beach. Amazing graphics of a clown and roller coaster. The lettering has little dimples in it that really make it reflect nicely in the sun. Pontchartrain Beach was an amusement park located in New Orleans, Louisiana, on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. It was founded by Harry J. (grandfather of American actor Bryan Batt) and later managed and owned by his sons, Harry J. It opened on Saturday, June 30, 1928, across Bayou St. John from an existing amusement resort at Old Spanish Fort. Pontchartrain Beach’s original location is the present-day lakefront neighborhood of Lake Terrace. Nice size measuring approx 27” x 21” Makers mark reads DURA PRODUCTS.
