ceeswing Posted September 6, 2011 at 09:02 AM Report Posted September 6, 2011 at 09:02 AM Goodmorning from France. I found this in my fathers home. He picked this item up in China when he was traveling as a salesman in China a long time ago. Would somebody be so kind to help me out with the translating. Many tanks in advance Kind Regards Cornelis Quote

ceeswing Posted September 6, 2011 at 12:21 PM Author Report Posted September 6, 2011 at 12:21 PM @Peter 2010 Thanks for your quick reply. The caracters on the left side of the sign (is it a sign?) they have the same meaning? Regards Cornelis Quote
Kenny同志 Posted September 6, 2011 at 02:58 PM Report Posted September 6, 2011 at 02:58 PM This is not a shop sign but a wooden board carried in the past by the first two men of the entourage of an official to disperse people off the street he was using in a 轎子 or on a horse. 肅靜Be respectfully quiet 迴避Get off the street Quote

jbradfor Posted September 6, 2011 at 06:02 PM Report Posted September 6, 2011 at 06:02 PM roddy, have you just found your next forum logo? Quote
Kenny同志 Posted September 7, 2011 at 12:49 AM Report Posted September 7, 2011 at 12:49 AM Roddy, if you are going to do that, be sure to use traditional Chinese characters in that Simplified Chinese was introduced not long ago. Quote
Peter2010 Posted September 7, 2011 at 01:06 AM Report Posted September 7, 2011 at 01:06 AM The caracters on the left side of the sign (is it a sign?) they have the same meaning? sorry for my omission. 冰思全发号敬送 (respectfully presented by 冰思全发号 or 冰思全 (I'm not sure)). usually a chinese name is no more than three words, so 冰思全 sounds like someone's name, but the following words 发号 doesn't make any sense to me. Hence, I guess 冰思全发号 might be someone's name. Quote
xiaocai Posted September 7, 2011 at 04:14 PM Report Posted September 7, 2011 at 04:14 PM Somehow the first two characters look like 沐恩 to me. Quote
Peter2010 Posted September 8, 2011 at 12:43 AM Report Posted September 8, 2011 at 12:43 AM @xiaocai，opps! you'r right, they are 沐恩. Quote
jbradfor Posted September 8, 2011 at 01:22 AM Report Posted September 8, 2011 at 01:22 AM Could it be 沐恩 全发号 敬送 -- presented by 全发号 to receive favor? Quote
abcdefg Posted September 8, 2011 at 01:36 AM Report Posted September 8, 2011 at 01:36 AM That's great. I'm going to have that on t-shirts. Roddy, consider a tattoo. Quote
ceeswing Posted September 13, 2011 at 09:05 AM Author Report Posted September 13, 2011 at 09:05 AM I would like to thank you all for your responses. Regards Cornelis Quote
yeut Posted October 28, 2011 at 10:47 PM Report Posted October 28, 2011 at 10:47 PM Posted 07 September 2011 - 05:32 PM Could it be 沐恩 全发号 敬送 -- presented by 全发号 to receive favor? ====== What does "to receive favor" mean? Does it mean 全发号 presented the plaque in exchange for receiving a favor? Quote
