Enamelled notice "Persons throwing stones at the telegraph will be prosecuted", unknown maker for the General Post Office, British, 1910-1936.
Ceramic insulators on telegraph and telephone lines were a very tempting target for vandalism for those with catapults and air guns. This sign attempted to dissuade would-be vandals, but the marks suggest that it became a target itself.
