Although it does not really give any hint to Mee Sum's history, this article does talk about some of the older Chinatown restaurants going back to the '30s. http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/entertainment/2006/01/22/2006-01-22_wok_of_ages____at_lunar_new_.html
The Chinese goes from right to left, so the sign is from the 1960s or before. It's not really a dimsum joint - those are the restaurants with the food in carts.
