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

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.
