Hi Dan,

Have not come across that one before. What is the ITC number bottom left??  There is no doubt that some signs can be enhanced with a decent frame. Have posted a couple of card signs recently framed.

Hi Dan,

It can only improve it in a nice old frame. The ITC number dates it to late 1920's.

Looks way better, I would be tempted to darken the outside fo the frame if it does not sell first off.

Hi Dan,

I would agree with AL. A darker frame would be much better.

This is a glass sign advertising "Bishop's Move" tobacco, manufactured by Cohen & Weenan. Have put it in a frame in order to display and keep safe. What an unusual name for tobacco!!!
