I googled …… and is this it?

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA; Public Law 89-665; 54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq.) is legislation intended to preserve historical and archaeological sites in the United States of America.

I just bought a dry bar with a sticker like this on it. Didn't see it until after I had brought it home. My best guess is maybe an estate sale from an old historic hotel or house? Would love to know more, though. I know this topic is an old one but thought I would post just in case.

I agree with you !!  Perhaps to stop theft for estate sale sellers !!  Many are older homes !!

I reached out to a historian at the National Register of Historic Places (which was created through the NHPA) and they told me that neither of those associations have ever used a sticker like that. I also reached out to a friend who works with antique furniture and they said that they've never seen it before, but that they think it's likely that my bar could have come from a hotel. Now I'm brainstorming what else the NHPA acronym could mean...could the 'H' stand for hotel, housing; 'P' for protection? Any ideas? Would be a perfect little exercise for someone who loves riddles haha

Or,, something that virtually means nothing but would deter thieves/shoplifters ect from walking off with items from estate sales !!

This NHPA marking on a warning label is interesting. It likely refers to a specific law or regulation, but it's hard to say for sure without more context. It could be related to wildlife or cultural heritage protection, as the NHPA (National Historic Preservation Act) is involved in those areas. I'd recommend searching online for "NHPA registered and traceable" to see if any specific regulations or products pop up. It might be something related to collecting or selling certain items.
