My wife has decided she wants a Robin on the Basket enamel sign - has anyone got one for sale?

I used to own a small "near mint" double sider of this sign back in 1984 aged 14 when I first started out collecting signs! My uncle nicked it for me from someones back garden! It was screwed on the side of a garden shed. I completely wrecked/ruined one side of it by covering it in jenolite and leaving it overnight!!! The jenolite ate into the lovely dark blue colour causing a "ghosting" effect. I still dont know to this day why I put jenolite on it, young and foolish I suppose. I will try and dig out the photo I have of it... PS:I would kill to have that sign "Pre-jenolite" now...

Very sad story Justin..was it a double sided ciggy sign you had though mate with the packet on, or the Robin on a basket sign double sided?? By the way Rich as you probley know theres a Robin on basket on ebay thats knocked about that maybee worth repairing?? By the way mate,i wish my misses was as understanding..

After digging out the photo of me holding the sign age 14 I now realise its the cigarette packet one. It was still a lovely sign and had great sheen to it before I wrecked it with jenolite! This photo is the sign "Pre-Jenolite"

Hey Justin,you must of been a rich kid then back in the day?..Umbro shorts and Gola trainers..And to top it all off a Cracker of a sign..
