 A number of "good enamel signs" are com ing in for the October sale - vendor would not elucidate.... he MIGHT send me some pics in advance, but would not promise?

So we all await with 'baited breathe' - thought the Bamfords image was "appropriate"?
 
Meanwhile Nigel Sykes has just given me my induction into posting images on here - hopefully then, all sorted and Pete (& others) will perhaps be a tad more appreciative of my efforts to 'keep you informed' in the lead up to my quarterly auctions?

about time... thank god.
Alan, no one was knocking your dedication or effort. I was merely sharing a feeling that several of us had- that you could be arsed to learn how to post pics.
Now you've cracked it, your next focus should be on sorting your website & making your auctions appear on the important auction search sites. I have a feeling this is why Bamford's got the last 3 advertising auctions. Nuff said!

 I take all comments on board Pete - constructive or destructive - lol!

 
More a case of too busy to stop to learn much else - NEVER quiet here - a one man band...... 
 
I need 'guidance' n 'nudging' ..... now that bit on your last comment  "....appear on the important search sites" - maybe you could elucidate? Please email my desktop: sales@onlinebbr.com.
 
Today a guy walked in with a superlative condition Robin enamel (& other enams for the Sat auction) ...... onbe of these was my FIRST EVER enamel - 1968 in Manchester, though some of the lettering looks to be earlier? Fantastic condition of the image.
