This sign is to commemorate Hurricane Irma that hit the panhandle of Florida it is in a beautiful Torched Copper finish (it is not actually copper but you would never know it when looking at it) that is made of 16ga steel. It has a gloss clear coat to protect the material. This same design is available in plain steel finish for $10 less, coated with a matte clear Rustoleum paint to resist rusting.
