Hi Banjo Boy, new to me, not new as in just run off the machine from India!
Around 1950s - 60s I recon, Snowdrift were taken over in 1971, so no later than that.
If anyone has anything to add, I’d love to hear it |

Ok Mark,,so the 2 new additions to your collection you would geuss as date wize 1950/1960z..? So reading between the lines on other Motor,oil etc signs Theez 2 are quite Newish from the dates..?? Abit like the 1950 Spratts signs and the Duckhams signs of same era |

Sorry Banjo boy, are you implying the signs are repros?
They are defo 100% original, maybe motoring isn't your specialised area. |

I am by no means an expert and you need to see signs in the flesh, BUT i have seen repros of these SNOWDRIFT Signs and confirmed by more than one proper Motoring sign dealers. I pass no comment on your signs Mark, cos I hav'nt seen them in hand
