I finally remembered how to upload images from my Mac. So, these are my favourite RN themed tin showcards.

The Younger's is 9'' x14''. It was given to me by a shopkeeper for putting on a display of old signs in his shop window back in the early 1980s. I think its BWM. Die cut tin signs are scarce, super chromo on this one.

...Here's a nice tinplate Robin.

 You're right in terms of the detail Al. When BWM installed its first Mann Rotary Off-Set presses in 1904 the quality of the chromolithography on tinplate hit its peak.

 Great tin signs Ken... Old Mr Redgate was a real character. Always turned up with something interesting. The factory on Traffic St (now demolished) was amazing, he used to fill codds with coloured water as he still all the old bottling machinery... great days.

Here's another Youngers which is marked BWM Mansfield.
