On Nerudova Street in the Mala Strana district (Prague), a number of house-owners still proudly display the original house signs. House signs was used to distinguish between the different properties as there were no house numbering system until 1770 or so.
Here are some examples:
The Golden Key
The Red Lamb
My favourite! The Three Fiddles! A family of luthiers used to live here!
