Double-Sided Design: The original signs were often double-sided. While one side requested "Quiet," the reverse side usually asked, "Have You Forgotten Any Personal Property?" to remind passengers to check for their belongings before disembarking.
Material: Authentic vintage versions were generally made of medium cardstock or paper board and featured a brass-reinforced grommet at the top for hanging.
Historical Context: The Pullman Company was famous for its luxury sleeping cars. These signs were a standard part of the "Pullman service" intended to ensure the comfort and rest of travelers.
Reproduction: Because of their iconic design, many modern metal or tin "vintage-style" reproductions are now sold for home decor.
