You were here!
I see no reason to doubt that a genuine MCN may have been used for the sign. Do you?

OK, I stand corrected, it's an older pre-1911 necklace recycled into a sign.

Color, not quality, acts as insignia of rank. Better beads were used for important occasions.

Do you think the shop sign may have been advertising MCN for sale?
