Story
In 1946, Enrico Piaggio looked at his company's new scooter prototype and remarked that its narrow waist and buzzing engine made it look like a 'Vespa'—the Italian word for wasp.
Maker / Origin
Piaggio & C. SpA began as an aircraft manufacturer before their factories were leveled during WWII; they pivoted to scooters to help Italy get back on its feet.
Condition & Value
The sign appears structurally sound with clean acrylic faces. There is some visible scuffing on the black mounting board, which is common for dealership surplus. The presence of the registered trademark (R) symbol confirms its status as an official corporate-sanctioned display piece.
